Yes he would, but it doesn't matter how he would feel. Our laws were created for objective reasons, not subjective. If your family or friends were murdered, you would no longer think objectively, I guarantee it.
Don't know about you guys, but I don't want any emotional people (subjective thinkers) making my laws. It's bound for troubles.
I'm with Danny on this one. Lately a lot of people have been released because of new knowledge acquired by better technology. If we would have killed them, an innocent would be dead. Now how would you feel if you were that person?
On top of that, what's the difference between a life sentence and the death penalty to the public? Peace of mind? Or are you scared they will escape? And don't give me the line of Bull shit saying that you don't want to pay for someone to sit in prison. Because in all reality, it costs MORE to put someone to death then let them sit in a cell.
Makes you think, huh?
Don't get me wrong, I'm as tough as they come when it comes to crime. I just don't believe in killing people, regardless of what they did.
