Capital Punishment

[Mottie]

Don’t care. Tell me, what would your punishment for a child murderer be?

This is where ellal quietly disappears into the ether…..

Yep, gone to ground. Only reply I’ll get to that will be some sort of personal attack calling me a thug troll or some such swervy shyte. I can read him like a book.

I would feel completely cheated if you had to do that to my barrister who I was paying to defend me.
Charge it !!!!!

Some of the very best play the fool to sucker the other side. It’s an extremely successful tactic

I've known experienced barristers to do it. I just give them a pep talk and take them back to first principles.

Don’t forget to tell them about your 2:1 in law.

Mine was a first with honours, perhaps MNW is talking about taking a barista back to basics in coffee making.

I am all for capital and corporal punishment, I think the punishment should fit the crime, obviously for any concerns over guilt is to be avoided and prison but this must be hard labour and not a soft option. Violent offences such as agravated burglary and theft of cars etc, should be met with lashes of substansial proportions to inflict not just pain but to mark the offender. I spent a bit of time in Thailand where they have very severe penantys for drugs and crime in general.

If we took the same approach there won't be any politicians left to run the country...

Safe gaurds would need to be put in place where capital punishment could only be used for the found 100% guilty before they even reach a trial. Anything less than 100% must be a hard labour sentence.

I'm interested in Highwayman's suggestion that when an accused is not found guilty beyond reasonable doubt, he should be sentenced to imprisonment with hard labour.

And that when a person is considered to be guilty, no trial is necessary before deciding to kill him.

Exactly that, if there are crimes that have been commited that doesn't require a trial to prove guilt, then just sentence them to death.

Technically what is the point of a trial if two blokes are filmed beheading a soldier on the streets of London ???

Or some bloke stabbing Joe cox in broad day light

Well, since you're in the business of criticising people for disappearing into the ether, and going to ground, and since, I'm sure, you would deny that you're a hypocrite, you will soon be replying to this without personally attacking me, won't you.

IRA apologist.

Using intelligence and reason, and ONLY intelligence and reason, please show how that accusation is justified.

is the death intended to be a punishment too

Death is the ultimate punishment.
If a Judge asked any murderer upon conviction, do you prefer natural life in prison or hanged until you are dead.
What do you think the convicted murderer would chose.
The only problem I have with the death penalty is that the wrong person could be hanged.
There are some people in society who are so evil that death is the only way the victims families can find closure.
Keeping someone convicted of murder alive while their victims families are grieving for their lost one, is unnatural.
