Are you for or against the death penalty?

It seems like the deterrence argument might carry some merit. The automatic appeals, though, to the Supreme Court seems to be costly.

I understand the history of an individual sentenced to death is under intense scrutiny. Reading levels, etc are generally factored in.

There’s been a renewed emphasis on protecting policemen in most states.

What do you say? I guess in extreme instances I’m pro-death penalty. What’s defined as “extreme”? Who knows. I’d say OKC, for instance, might be an act I’d deem fitting within my framework for the death penalty. That ones probably obvious, but it would help define the working parameters I would reference in support of the death penalty.
