Verdict: Guilty. Sentence: Death.
I've always seen things as an eye for an eye. Although I do see the moral issues in the death penalty, I understand that it is reasonable in certain situations.
I've always liked to look at it through the eyes of the victim's family and friends. Say Victim got murdered by Killer. Killer got caught by Police. There are mountains of evidence against Killer. Victim's Family and Friends miss Victim very much and are disgusted by the sight of Killer. How I see it, Family and Friends would probably want Killer to suffer as agonizing a death as Victim did because Killer was so heartless to take away their precious Victim and has now left an empty void in their hearts where Victim once was.
So, why not use the death penalty?
I often hear of people calling the death penalty "inhumane." While that is true, is that which Killer did to Victim not also—if not more—inhumane than the current methods of execution used in our society?
I've also heard people argue that the methods of execution are too "expensive," so we shouldn't do it. While the lethal injection and the electric chair are indeed both expensive, is keeping Killer in jail for the rest of Killer's life not more expensive? Also, why use lethal injections and the electric chair when rope is cheap and reusable?
