I simply don't get this.

I don't doubt that some of these people on Death Row are there as a result of crimes of passion, but most of them I would think are there because of the heinous nature of their crime.

Why can't a gallows, rope and hood serve the purpose?

I just don't get the thought process.

A lot of Bow Hunters carry a .22, just in case they do not get a clean kill...just sayin...

I always thought that the LETHAL INJECTION was the surest way to kill. Well, the GUILLOTINE was the SUREST way but those Frenchies overdid it an we don't have the guillotine any more.

Maybe we should bring it back. What say you?

and make it public.

Cheaper and generally works. Yet not as nice as going to sleep. Don’t know why we should afford human thugs the same courtesy as a beloved good animal.

Incompetence, gutless cowards, and traitors in our judicial system has brought about the current debauchery of justice.

A "crime of passion" is second-degree murder, and is not eligible for the death penalty. Crimes eligible for the death penalty are premeditated murder, and murder committed in the process of a felony.
