Re: Death Penalty

I'm 95% pro-capital punishment, with the 5% only being the resentment of the costs involved. If they reduced appeals processes and cheapened it significantly, I'd support the death penalty in all cases where DNA evidence or a multitude of witnesses warrants a removal of doubt.

There are many reasons I believe in it, and it requires a conglomerate. I believe in its deterrent effect, I believe in its maintenance of justice, and I believe that very few crimes of that caliber can truly be rehabilitated. With all three factors, it's a cinch for me.
