Completely against. The idea of someone losing their life, the only life they'll ever have, because of a miscarriage of justice is absolutely horrifying to me. It's bad enough that actual criminals are killed.

@GlassDog I am not sure I am understanding what you mean when you say "it is bad enough that actual criminals are killed"...maybe I just need more coffee, but I'd like to grasp it!😂

@GlassDog I completely agree with you. Whatever the wrongdoing I think law shoud be about protecting human life, whether this life belongs to a victim or the offender.

@JaggedLittlePill Ahh, I just think that killing someone (anyone, including a criminal) means that we have given up on finding solutions, and in some ways, given up on humanity.

@GlassDog fair enough !
