ok this is a big thing hears the deal whut do you want to hapin to a person that kills one of your family member would you want them to stay in prison for life like what it is now where prisons is overflowing becase of this or would you like to have them exicutid becase they took a life so should theres be taken too???
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.
If you kill someone, purposely, no matter what the motive, you should be sentenced to the death penalty.
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.

Yup. Death is a lesser penatly. ANOTHER reason why I am AGAINST it.
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:[
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?
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.

it is never too soon after 25 years. most of those who commit murders "on purpose", or maybe "remeditatedly", notice their wrongs by that time. also: most states (if not all?) require a member of family or close person to the one who died to come to the hearing, and they will sometimes converse with the killer. their decision as to whether or not they feel the killer should gain parole is the gross decider in the matter.
so: with parole hearings, if there is a friend/relative of the victim present, that killer's not going anywhere if it's not safe.
