Comments on: High Court Upholds Lethal Injections

Justices Reject Challenge To Kentucky's Death Penalty Procedures, Executions Will Resume

[redveg]

If it is OK to execute innocents to avoid letting the occasional murderer live in prison, then we should execute the entire population to eliminate the possibility of future murders.

Scratch that last response. I was wrong.

Questionnews thanks for the input. I looked it up and I know that you are right. Commonsense1 who said that your interpretation is the right one?

Actually it was DNNSG=(I don''''t need no stinking gun)
Commonsense1 was disputing him.

On these peoples death certificate the death is listed as homocide. And it should be.

[notblue]

Now that they have ok''d lethal injection it''s about time to reinstate some of the more appropriately painful forms of execution. It''s a good start.

I''m a firm believer in the "It''s better to let 100 murderers go free than for 1 innocent man to be executed." - Posted by USBrit at 12:56 PM : Apr 16, 2008

What would have been the result if Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy had been freed? The one innocent man would have been replaced by more equally innocent victims.

I presume that you could find a better expression to articulate your opposition to the death penalty.

I have a relative who worked for many years as a public defender on death penalty cases. This relative is opposed to the death penalty, in large part due to the perceived inequitable application of the death penalty as a punishment. While this may be true, it seems that the logical correction to this injustice is to ensure that all defendants whose crimes meet the standard meriting execution face this prospect, not just the ones who cannot afford the best legal representation.

Obviously, there are condemned convicts who are guilty as charged, and whose crimes meet the standard defined as eligible for the death penalty. These criminals should not be warehoused for decades with unlimited appeals for the sole purpose of trying to cheat justice.

Furthermore, the death penalty is meant to be a punishment. The idea that the death penalty may also be a deterrent to criminals is an extra benefit, not the sole purpose, of the death penalty. Paroled murderers have the potential to kill again. Executed murderers do not.

[byeneocons]

It costs the taxpayers more to execute someone than to house them until they die. And frankly, some of these crimes are so heinous, I''d rather see the person suffer in prison instead of taking a happy cocktail out.

[whatsup49]

A Baptist minister in the city where I now live was seated on a jury panel in a capital murder/death penalty case. The defense attorney asked him how he, as a man of God, could justify a death sentence. The minister answered that while on earth, we live under man''s law and judge the man. God will judge the soul. The minister was selected for the jury which ultimately gave the defendant the death penalty. I have seen the horror some of these criminal have done to their victims and the victims'' families. The death penalty would deter crime if it was carried out sooner, rather than the 5 plus years it takes for a case to wind its way through the system. I say when there is no question of guilt, no mitigating circumstances to justify a life sentence, the death sentence should be carried out in a timely manner.

IDNNSG= I don''t need no stinking gun?

Just curious.

commonsense1 What do you think the most powerful part of the Scriptures are. I would say the Ten Commandments. One of them does address the subject. It says Thou Shalt Not Kill.

Friend that is talking about murder and murder only. There is a big difference in murder and War or putting to death a criminal. The scripture must be interpreted correctly, it does not contradict itself.

The Discover Channel show said the original text translates to "thou shall not murder" not "thou shall not kill. Many people still think it''s kill & will argue otherwise. I''ll stay with what the Discover Channel says.

KILL KILL KILL KILL!!!!!

Killing people doesn''t stop crime and it doesn''t make us "safe".

Impotent, incompetent, and evil people resort to killing in an attempt to make themselves feel powerful, "in control". But they are not.

And every time we kill someone, there''s a chance we just killed an innocent person. That is MURDER.

No matter how many you kill, there''s always more out there. Isn''t it way past time to try to figure out how to prevent people from wanting to do things that make us want to kill them?

[fibonacci_]

This does not teach people to value life. Why is our murder rate so high I really wonder.

[brianp55]

For me, this is simple. If the execution of a criminal brings relief to the surviving family members, even if it''s nothing more than a sense of simple vengeance, then I say execution is justified.

Posted by mjlewis6

It''s technically ''justifiable homicide'', not ''murder''. And all you''re really saying is that you don''t believe in the death penalty because to you it''s not justifiable. Except this is a democracy and most of us believe victims deserve justice . . .

[sebastian27-2009]

Violence begats violence, whether it be murder by the individual or murder by the state. If the state wrongfully convicts an innocent man, and this is not that unusual, how can this be corrected if the convicted person is dead? I realize that this idea is not that popular because we require vengenace. SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO PAY.

[lindaredtail]

Hey Bigot3. More than one President didn''t do what they should have to get Bin Laden. His extremism was known at least back to Bush1 and maybe Reagan. Bush2 also let him get away in Afghanistan by not sending American troops into Tora Bora instead depending on a Pashtun alliance. Go into the Sixty Minute Archives from the beginning of the war. There you will find Pashtun tribesmen who were part of the force searching for Osama Bin Laden being clearly translated as praying out loud for his escape. Bush2 is just as guilty. Until he is found the victims of 9/11 will never really have justice.

Did they finally can that Andrew Cohen dude? He''s never right about anything - I don''t see how anybody could have missed accurately predicting this ruling the way he did . . . why else does the Sup. Ct. grant certiorari on issues twice in such a short time except to limit the breadth of their prior landmark rulings. They never do it to broaden it even more - they''re WAY too busy.

Murder by one or murder by a group is still murder. Whether agreed to or not, by a group or a professional, the misuse of the death penalty for justice or for reluctant mothers for abortion with a doctor...the result is the same....death rendered by intention to cause death of a viable human being.....is murder. - Posted by mjlewis6 at 01:10 PM : Apr 16, 2008

Wrong. Murder is a legal term. None of your examples fit the definition of murder. There is nothing unlawful about the state sanctioned execution of a condemned prisoner found guilty of a capital offense through due process of law. Nor is there anything unlawful about abortion, which a woman may rightfully choose, usually with great difficulty and for a variety of reasons, many of which often have nothing to do with becoming a reluctant mother.

Murder: The unlawful intentional killing of another human being without justification or excuse.
