I don't think that anybody deserves to die, no matter what the circumstances.
Naive? Yes. But that's just what I believe. I don't believe that any one person is truley evil. Again, very naive of me. But that's just how I view the world.
I don't like accusing people of crimes, or blaming people for their actions. Almost every late Saturday night I'll sit on the couch and watch Dateline or 48 Hours Mystery with my mom. And even when the evidence is against someone, and it looks like they did murder somebody, I still don't like believing that they commited the crime. We never know 100% for sure that the person is guilty. Witnesses or not, forensic evidence or not - you can never truley be completely sure. I would much rather see a guilty man go free than an innocent man in jail. And even if they did do it - you don't know what that person was feeling. You don't know exactly what was going on when it happened. Is it wrong to murder someone? Yes. But I still don't like telling people what they did wrong, because I'm not them and have never been in there shoes.
I don't believe in putting people in jail for life, either. That's throwing there life away - in my eyes, you might as well be killing the person.
And the ironic thing is, my mom is a prosecutor. She tried a double murder case before - and she won. The convicted was either going to spend his life in jail or get the death penalty - he got life in prisionment, without parole. But obviously my mom believes in the death penalty.
So no, I don't support the death penalty. Under any circumstances, no body deserves to die.
