@9KDYD2W10mos10MO
I believe the victim’s family should decide. However, I also believe that the person found guilty needs to thoroughly be proven guilty.
@97VCSDT2yrs2Y
For those who commit sexual crimes upon children.
@9WBRK8D2mos2MO
No, death penalty is no different than murder. Zero parole for entire life, not just a life sentence, and support consecutive life sentences.
@9GZYG4J1yr1Y
Yes, for Homicide, mass murderer, serial killer, terrorist, rape, crime against children, crime against humanity and act of treason against the peoples of Canada.
@9FP3QX21yr1Y
No, punitive justice is never justified. Each criminal should be afforded comfortable living conditions and rehabilitation if deemed possible.
@9D4YVYK1yr1Y
No. We should focus on rehabilitation of people in prisons rather than punishment and/or death.
@9F5KMPV1yr1Y
Death penalty is immoral. It's not okay to kill anyone even if they are a bad person. Death penalty is something that should be outlawed. Lots of innocent people end up killed in countries with death penalty.
@9JZV4G610mos10MO
I support it, with irrevocable proof. But I also know a lot that were on death row, were innocently convicted. But the amount of money that would go into retrial, was hefty back then. Serial killers should, receive the death penalty. 100%
