Going to still disagree with you, the death penalty should involve premeditated murders.
If the killer carried a loaded weapon into a convenience store robbery, and killed an innocent store worker, it’s pretty safe to say the killing was premeditated.
If they didn’t plan on firing the weapon they wouldn’t have loaded it. Or carried a firearm at all.

Because there are monsters like that out there.
Because premeditated robbery does not equate to premeditated murder.

Nonetheless, this contributes to why I'm generally anti-death penalty (as practiced in the US). It takes forever, leads to all sorts of second guessing, and by the time you get to the punishment it often feels empty.

What is your son's name?
You know..,the felon. The teenager who you say can barely wipe his own arse and probably couldn't make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich if he was starving to death.
What did his mother name him?

Plenty of robberies happen with a gun and no one dies, idiots think that it will all go easy.
Again I'm not saying don't imprison for a long time, but if you try to execute everyone like that you will lose any support for the death penalty.

The VAST majority of people when asked would consider the gov't inept when it comes to doing things. Why we think they can effectively arbiter life and death is comical. I understand wanting the death penalty, but even being wrong ONE time makes it not worth it and there's NO WAY the gov't can get it right 100% of the time.
The government doesn't sentence people to death.

That tells me he did do it

The tragedy here is this monster killed his baby in 2008. Death penalty should be carried out within the year. Ridiculous they live so long.

What do think William’s plan was?
quote:
Williams lay in wait in her apartment till she came home and stabbed her 43 times, leaving the knife lodged in her neck before making off with her purse. Her purse was found in his car and he confessed to two separate people. Her name was Felicia Gayle.
What do you think the below are trying to do? Especially lying about DNA evidence exonerating Williams and using terms like lynching when there was over 2 decades of due process before death penalty.

Tonight, Missouri lynched Marcellus Williams. DNA evidence proved he was innocent. It didn’t matter. Because the United States is a serial killer of Black people

@TristanSnell
The same 6 justices who claim to be “pro-life” just signed off on the lynching of an innocent Black man
Sulu has had too much shoved up his arse and has abused too many boys to discuss innocence and not valuing life or justice.

A nation that allows an innocent man to be executed does not value justice.
A governor and a High Court that do nothing to stop such a travesty do not value life

reading those tweets or whatever you call them now made my brain hurt. George Takei reminds me of a very effeminate lemming who follows the herd at every turn.

Following your thought process, since the murder of his son wasn’t premeditated he shouldn’t have received the death penalty.
Murder is murder. That poor baby is just as dead as a convenience store clerk gunned down during a robbery.

Won’t lose my support. Or the support of many.
The people protesting the death penalty are like the same loud minority who protest everything. But since that minority is loud and present, while the majority is busy with mundane things like a job, they get the publicity.
That dead store clerk likely has a family that depends on them, and will miss them. That dead store clerk misses out on life experiences, likewise their family does as well.
All because a loser with no impulse control decides to rob them, then to add insult to injury they decide to shoot them.
They’re animals, sociopaths, they have no redeeming qualities. Doesn’t hurt my feelings one iota if they’re removed permanently from the gene pool.

Okay, well, you aren't really going to find too many cases that "perfect" for you to use the death penalty on.
Just watch five or six episodes of various murder trials on NBC Dateline or CBS 48 Hours.
It's always reliant on prison informers, fellow suspects who become snitches to get off, murky videos where you say "That KINDA looks like the guy but...:\", etc.
These are typical cases - they are never as perfect as you say -

Dude in Williams's case this wasn't an 18 year old who went into a gas station(premeditated), panicked and shot someone while running out(not premeditated), Williams is a good death penalty case.
My point is we have to try cases based on intent to kill, 43 times is intent.
Some people here would hang every drunk driver.
Some wouldn't kill a serial killer.
There is a good middle.

It was premeditated, that's obvious from the case he was going to kill his victim.
Both are just as dead as someone you back up over in a parking lot after having one drink too many.
There has to be a limit somewhere to hang em high.
