Yes, I support the death penalty. I support it in cases of murder, rape, and treason. I think it should be done by lethal injection, except child rapists. They should be tossed in the lion pit at the zoo. But I also think the option of a plea bargain should be avaliable, if the prosecuter needs some information from the criminal.
All cases of rape?
Deplorable as it is, does it necessitate the taking of life?
Yeah I think so. I can't stand those people.
But what if some of them are innocent and have fallen victim to manipulation or blatant lies by their accuser. It has happened before.
Well, me being the ever police friendly guy I am,
I believe that police interrogation techniques are improving all the time. Not the forensic CSI stuff, but with the detectives. You know, being trained to spot when someone is lying, and things of that nature.
Ah, I forgot to mention it earlier. Since the death penalty does involve people's lives, I think the burden of proof in such cases should be very high. Without a shadow of a doubt, and that stuff.
