For those who commit sexual crimes upon children.
@ALcubbybear882yrs2Y
No, any use of the death penalty at any level of government is a clear violation of The Ten Commandments and I strongly oppose any and all effort to reinstate it
@8LJBV5R4yrs4Y
No. The death penalty is barbaric
@9RC97PL4 days4D
No, the death penalty will increase number of appeals and increase costs and burden to the legal system.
@9KDYD2W5mos5MO
I believe the victim’s family should decide. However, I also believe that the person found guilty needs to thoroughly be proven guilty.
@9K58RGL5mos5MO
Yes, but only with substantial clear evidence and only with the purpose of completely eliminating the possibility of that crime occurring by the same person a second time. Punishment is a waste, 100% prevention is worthwhile but only with crimes where the risk of recidivism is extreme. Child abuse, murder, sex trafficking, and so forth
