 The death penalty and 'remorse'Posted by Zach this guy had none and he's gone  on 4/25 at 5:10 pmI've never understood why remorse is important in the penalty phase of a murder case. Shouldn't you be punished for what you did? As opposed to whether you're sorry you did it? I recall a case where a guy raped and murdered a young girl. The jury voted for death. One female juror said later "I was prepared to vote for life in prison. But when he was asked if he had any remorse he flipped the jury the bird." So, raping and murdering a little girl = life. Flipping the bird = death. Ken Hamblin had a great line. When the convicted murderer pleas for his life he often says "Executing me won't bring her back." His answer: "Yes, and letting you live won't bring her back either. It's a wash." Reply • Back to Top |
No executed murderer has ever killed again. Fact !  Reply • Back to Top |

| The death penalty is about justice not remorse. Some people just don't have the stomach for truth or justice. Reply • Back to Top |
