anyone can be made a killer given the right circumstances. for instance a child gets run over and dies, the offender gets off lightly so the parents seek retribution and kill the offender. this makes the murder pre meditated so the parents get the death penalty.
where do you draw the line?.
in the above example i would let the parents off....bad driving, its just the offender happened to jump infront of the car.....end of.

i agree but in the eyes of the law they would have committed murder so the law would dictate they they serve a death sentence.

i personally think that the only death sentence should be for mass murder or serial killings and the sentence only carried out after a 10 year period with an ongoing investigation to make sure that there is no doubt as to the initial findings at sentence.

Still haven't really changed my opinion on this one. I still don't think that revenge or emotion should play much part in law, the only thing that would make me consider the death penalty is to stop the convict of hurting/killing/raping any other person, but still not sure I would agree with it.

You would be suprised at the number that reoffend when released on licence from a life sentence it never ceased to amaze me the number of familar faces that kept returning to my care. I'm suprised that no one has demanded those figures under the freedom of imformation act.
