1) Child-molesters who kill their victims. If you're both a pedophile and a murderer, that's it, don't pass GO, don't collect two hundred dollars.
2) People involved in murder-for-hire. if you value money more than life, you're incurable.
I will freely admit that my rationales in both cases are based emotionally and can't really be defended logically, so don't ask me to do so.
In all other capital cases, I think life imprisoned on an island, in general population, with livestock, seeding and building supplies flown in every so often so the inmates can assure their own food and shelter, is fine. Maybe give 'em some books, too, I dunno. Make sure the island is beyond swimming distance, and use Coast Guard patrols as training for the CG recruits and midshipmen.
We don't often agree but I will this time. I'll give you 0.75 of a kudos for your post...  I don't know if you are a parent, but I am a father to 2 daughters aged 13 and 14 years of age. I don't care what the colour of the assaillant is, if anything like that should ever happen to my daughters like that, I personally would swing for the cnut. I would wait of course to see if justice has been done. Either way, they attack my daughters, either the state executes them or I will. It may seem strange for you to read that, but I am very protective of my daughters, as I was my mother and grandmother (them being only 5ft 0inches tall and me being 6ft 2inches tall) but I will not let anyone do that.

It's only when it's done selectively and repeatedly, with an obvious agenda.
Which was not done in this thread until now.
I don't know where the agenda is coming from here. I only posted it because we hear of some people being stabbed only once and dying there and then. To be stabbed 100 times and to survive, that must have been some miracle. It reminds me of Professor Gunther Von Hagens medical series where he had shown three stab wounds, where two of which were fatal.

It is the United Kingdom, he will get out in 5 years instead of doing the full 20 years and then he will get a knighthood from the queen.
Don't lie, not even for parody. If he gets 20 years, he may get the customary "third off for good behaviour", or he may not, at the judge's discretion. Regardless, whatever the sentence ends up being is nothing to do with anyone but the judge.
The knighthood thing is just silly. You should have said he'll get a tropical island made of gold and the frustrated tears of Daily Mail property owners.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Ok he will do 10 years and he might get off with good behaviour. If he is refused parole, he can apply for parole every year up to the release date.

Thank you. See? What was hard about that?

She suffered two punctured lungs and had to have roughly 500 stitches. All that because she didn't want to be a slave to him. He should have known that slavery was outlawed years ago. Anyway, I cannot help thinking that 20 years is not enough, considering British gangsters have done less yet received life. It is about time that the Prison system in the UK adopted the American system where either life means life, or indeed a good dose of electricity. To call him an animal would do a disservice to other animals.

Do these sort of heinous crimes deserve the death penalty? I mean, he only stopped because he thought she was dead. If she hadn't have played dead, he would have killed her for sure.
As my mum would have said. "If they stab you over a hundred times they really aren't your friends".
School was hard.

I'm a father; my son is almost 19. Anyone who harmed him, I used to say, had ought to turn themselves in for protective custody. I totally understand.

For it to be anyone else, we can be objective, but to flesh and blood, we cannot.

Perhaps not, but I don't think it was much of a coincidence either that my first thought when seeing the thread title and who posted it was "I'll bet top dollar it's a black guy."
