RE: Is the death penalty cruel and unusual punishment by definition?
January 18, 2014 at 10:21 am
I'm not morally opposed to a death penalty, but I think the requirements to be allowed to go for it should be extremely stringent. There have been a lot of people that have been freed from death row because of DNA evidence clearing them from the crime. So I think that the requirements for the death penalty should go beyond just a. heinous crime and, b. found guilty. I think there should be video, DNA evidence, a few eyewitnesses....just an overwhelming amount of evidence, what would be called (according to my Law & Order knowledge) a slam dunk case. And then when we sentence them to death, don't stick them in a cell for 12 years and wait to kill them. If you have all that evidence just take them behind the court house and put a bullet in the head.
