Capitol Punishment

I am actually conservative on this point. I feel that if there is a serial killer out there that hurt so many families and poses such a threat to society, he/she should no longer be able to live. They clearly enjoy killing and feel no remorse. Their lives in prison would useless, other than for them to maybe feel some sort of pride in their crimes. I don't feel that it should be used in all horrible cases, but in ones that there is a confession or all proof and evidence cannot be ignored, the death penalty is an option.

    The liberals feel that it is murder and unjust. It wrong to kill the killers, it doesn't prove a point or scare criminals into doing less to avoid the death penalty. Supposedly, it costs less to keep a prisoner in jail for his entire life instead of killing him as well. In cases where people are wrongfully accused, they shouldn't be killed on wrong pretenses. I completely understand this point, and that is why I feel that it shouldn't be used regularly, just in extreme cases when the killer is properly indentified with no doubts in mind.
