First of all, Fail on the grammar.

Secondly, death is a lesser penalty to the guilty, as they are living in hell when they go to jail. In the end, they're either shanked and bleeding out, or a gay sex toy. Honestly, I'd rather take the death penalty.

You should be stricter. Not more stricter. Impale yourself with a blunt knife.

Exactly so why kill another

exactly so why kill another?

However, accidents do happen. If someone is unintentionally killed, I don't believe the killer should be put into jail. I believe they should be allowed to continue a normal life. Maybe with counseling, depending on how effected they are by the experience.

Yeah, I knew that, but can't you still be fined or put in jail for that? I don't think that's right.

1st degree (mst srs guiyz) - preplanned/premeditated murder with malice
2nd degree - no planning just with malice
3rd degree - accidental witha felony

justice is an opinion

They should rot in jail before they have they have to rot in Hell.

my opinion is that it is more "efficient" to give someone the death sentence instead of life in prison because if you think about it, they are the same thing, but one will end many years sooner and cost thousands less in terms of food and protection

Where are you people getting your "facts" from? It is fact that it cost us (well, me, and anyone else that works),

I have 25 college credits in criminal justice so here is the deal with murder suspects, if they plead guilty on their trial they will automatically get life with out parole. If they plead not guilty and then are found guilty, most likely they will recieve the death penality(depends on the state). But the death penality will cost the state more money than putting the murder suspect in jail for life. This is so because for years and years the murder suspect can have many appeals. If the murder case is in the states of Texas or Florida, the suspect usually in killed in 4-6 years. Don't kill someone in Texas or Florida you'll be killed real fast:[

DrCool,

You have some nice thoughts and clearly a lot of knowledge on the subject. But the question is a normative one, not a descriptive one.
Should we be stricter on those who intentionally murder someone? Actually, I'm not even sure what the question means. Maybe nationwide death penalties rather than state-by-state?
There's not much you can do to someone worse than executing them without violating a prisoner's constitutional protection.
Perhaps the question should be: Should there be a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole or perhaps a death penalty? Many states currently allow convicted murderers to request a parole hearing after 25 years, I think. Is this too soon?

Moegreche,

The deal with the parole limits is that there are different sentencing terms that may be applied.

25 to life with possibilty parole.

life without the possibilty of parole.

Or a suspect will recieve some random number of years like 200,250,400years in which they may appeal and possibilty lower the sentence enough to request parole.
