UK should the death penalty be reinstated ?

We now have such sophisticated tools to check for certainties

Definitely, there's not enough deterrent so people just go around murdering, raping etc knowing they'll just serve a few years and be free to do it again.

I think for paedophiles & phsyco's we should bring it back as there is no cure for these people.
However I dont believe it should b made public.
I dont see why we should b made to spend our taxes on long term prison sentences for people who should never b allowed to walk our streets.

no, our sophistication isnt perfect, police still lie sometimes, prosecuters still more intersted in a conviction then justice.
how many guilty lives are worth one innocent one?

Yes we do, but can we trust or security forces to get it right?

Birmingham 6
Guildford 4
Bridgewater 3

That wuld be 13 innocents (apparently) that would have swung....

And then there is the innocent Brazilian electrician that we publicly executed on the TFL underground.....

Not an easy problem to solve

No. I don't believe in the death penalty. If you want to punish someone, keep them alive whilst Trump is in office.
