Australia Should Re-Introduce Capital Punishment
Should Australia bring back the death penalty? Perhaps for criminals who receive 70+ years in jail? Or for the more sadistic crimes, such as mutilation and child rape/murder?

No. I think anyone who is naughty should do at least 5 rounds in the ring with a Kangaroo, to a maximum of 15 rounds for those other nasty things mentioned.

I think that CP (Capital Punishment) Should be re-introduced to Australia, because CP is not only a way of abolishing Australia of serious criminals but it is also one more deterrent for killers not to commit a crime, (Not that they would think about it if they were going to kill them in the first place.) But i think under some extreme circumstances as seen on September 11 2001 and also the Bali Bombings, there is no other punishment suitable for criminals of there nature than the death penalty.

I think that multi-murders, terrorists and Extremist should ultimately receive the death penalty for there crimes. I also Agree with Hidell above that there has to be extra steps to the investigation of the crime for CP to be persuade as a method as punishment and it can't just be decided at supreme court level.

So yes i think that CP should be re-introduced to Australia!

Although I wouldn't like to see it imposed routinely, or casually, even for serious crimes such as murder, I do think that capital punishment should be available in extreme cases. Examples of perpetrators I think should be considered for execution would include serial killers or those guilty of particularly sadistic murders.

To guard against over-use of it, though, I think there should be some extra layers of process that the prosecution would have to go through before the death penalty was imposed. Perhaps the victim's family should have to consent to it, for example. And there should be a separate trial to determine if the death penalty will be imposed, even after guilt has already been determined. Perhaps the jury should also have to agree unanimously to the death sentence.

When you can bring dead people back to life after they have been "executed" through wrongful convictions, then talk about it. Until then, shut it.

Texas governor Rick Perry is in the hot seat as I write for trying to manipulate and rig an investigative panel into Perry's own wrongdoing. Perry knowingly signed the "death warrant" on Cameron Todd Willingham to score political points for being "tough on crime", despite verifiable proof that Willingham did not murder his family, and that the fire which killed Willingham's family was accidental.

The only people who want state murder, mislabeled "execution", are bloodthirsty sociopaths who enjoy seeing people die.

Edit:

Miller displays the standard sociopathic and misanthropic behaviour of many godbots: he (it would be more apt) blatantly ignores any and all cases of people being wrongly convicted and murdered by governments just so he can masturbate at the thought of people being killed. He should sign up for military service if that's what he wants to see.

 There is nothing sociopathic about wanting a callous murder to meet the same fate as his victims nor even to want to watch him die; it's called justice.

If you haven't heard of even one then you must be pretty ignorant. Google something like "capital punishment mistakes" and I'm sure you will be bombarded with examples.

NO! Even now they are discovering that people they killed in America 40-50 years ago were actually innocent, even some who had pleaded guilty.

 Could you give me a case please? I've not heard of one capital case involving the death penalty where the person was found innocent after he/she was put to death.
