Death Penalty

Abolish the death penalty.

'Thou shalt not kill.’ I’m against the death penalty.

I don’t Believe in the death penalty but when it comes to pedophiles who destroy children’s lives I may have to rethink on that one

Abolish the death penalty.

Since 1973, over 160 individuals in this country have been sentenced to death and were later exonerated. Because we can’t ensure that we get these cases right every time, we must eliminate the death penalty.

Because you can forfeit the right to life if you take another life, just as you can forfeit your right to liberty (this is called prison) by infringing on the liberty of another.

Since the discovery and acceptance of DNA technology in criminal prosecution, several prisoners — each and every year — on death row have been scientifically proven to be innocent and given their freedom. Proposition 62 would eliminate the horror of mistakenly putting an innocent person to death. Prop 62 would make the severest penalty for those found guilty to be life in prison without the possibility of parole. Furthermore, Prop 62 has a provision that makes prisoners pay restitution to their victims. And finally, Prop 62 would save the state of California millions of dollars each year! That’s right. Voting Yes on 62 would save taxpayers millions!

When it comes to the death penalty, yes, I believe in the death penalty and we have the death penalty for years here in California.
