She was the 11th prisoner executed at the facility since July when President Donald Trump, an ardent supporter of capital punishment, resumed federal executions following 17 years without one.
And do you know who executes more than every other country combined? a leader who is still in action, without any chance of being stopped. But âŚtrump.
I figure gruesome crimes would get a death sentence. I donât celebrate anyoneâs death. Just saying that I donât see how itâs relevant to who is president as this crime would be difficult to excuse.
I can understand how someone with pro life views would be against the death penalty in general.
Should she get a lessor sentence because sheâs female? I wonder how the victimâs family feels.
Nobodyâs excusing the crime. I just see it as very hypocritical to kill a killer.
âItâs OK if I do it. Iâm the president.â And then they turn to us to talk up their Christian credentials.
No argument from me.
No. But I donât view life in prison to be a lesser punishment. I donât think prisoners should be killed. We also donât have a clean record and have executed innocent people in the past. Does executing the prisoner somehow return the victim? Does the eye-for-an-eye revenge bring happiness to the victimâs family?
Agree. Iâm against all killing. I canât imagine being the victimâs family and having this drag on for so many years. Bobbie Joâs mother found her. I hope her family can get some closure.
The death penalty may provide a measure of relief to the family of the victim. It is reserved for the most heinous murders, and should be done sparingly.
I have no issues with the death penalty against the most heinous of killers. Specifically ones where there is a mountain of undeniable proof such as multiple witnesses and/or video and DNA evidence.
For general use no in case someone innocent is executed.
I feel it should definitely have a much higher standard of evidence for sure. Like the mrt stabber of a few years back. No one doubts he did it. Nobody will miss trash like that either in society.
So what would you say the difference, in legal terms, between âBeyond reasonable doubt letâs jail themâ and âWay beyond reasonable doubt letâs kill themâ?
