THAT is very simple to remedy, if they are squeamish about the death penalty, they should be disqualified for cases deserving of the death penalty and use them for manslaughter cases.
It's time to bring the death penalty back!

So, juries should be selected based on their likelihood to result in a guilty verdict?
That's a new take on justice.

Well, that takes the cake for the stupidest statement so far today. JURIES should be selected on their likelihood of reaching the correct verdict.
Uh huh, you keep thinking that. The more you two keep trying this age thing the more you make yourselves known that you have no more arguments or points in the subject of Capital Punishment, and question the poster's age and maturity because of their stance on the subject just drives the point further. You and VanIsle need to accept that there are people who are for capitla punishment, and that questioning a person's age and maturity just doesn't help your arguments or points, it makes you look like you're backed into a corner and are desperate for a counter-point, and jabbing at their person just lowers the quality of your posts
As for your possibilities, wrong on all three counts, you and Van can keep trying if it makes you feel better.
Exactly what kind of 'wrong opinion' you think I'm making of myself? If I take a side on a subject, I stand by it, pure and simple. And for your 'act like a normal person' thing. That's what people say when they have nothing else meaningful on a subject. You and VanIsle keep on you little jabs at my maturity, age and what ever else you two can come up with. Because as debaters/conversers it makes you two look like rank amateurs if that in my view.
Very good points, and I agree.
You want to see a joke? Get this; a former co-worker of mine stabbed her friend in her apartment with a long knife and fled the scene. She was caught by police, arrested and sentenced to home confinment until her trial (she is allowed to leave the home for work, school and groceries). A year later at her trial the judge sentenced her to home confinment for three years with the year she already spent as time serving on her sentence. She came to work the following day and gloated to me and another co-worker of mine. She stabbed a person, left the scene, and never spent a single day in jail.
I'm not sure if the criminal as any more 'rights' per say. After all they are confined to a cell so freedom of movement they don't have. Freedom of speech? Yeah they can say pretty much whatever they want, but can be punished by being sent into solitary by the warden. Can convicted criminals vote?
Quite so, any discussion about death penalty usually degenerates into such absurdities. Which really tells me that the whole idea of death penalty is ridiculous and barbaric.
I guess that would be the jury of the defendant's peers. At least in their own minds...
If that's the case, then you can't exclude people who don't like the death penalty, can you?
I don't expect it to make sense to either of you; you both have a distinct inability to comprehend anything beyond a Grade 3 level of intellect.
So, people who are in favour of the death penalty should be excused as well, as they are prejudiced.
