And I'll never understand the mindset of someone who is so pro-life being able to support the death penalty when the person involved may be a totally innocent life. Death is death.
I'm on the fence about the death penalty. There's still too great of a chance that an innocent person will die. But I think if the person comes out and admits it and has zero remorse s/he should. Going to prison is supposed to be a punishment, a place to sit and think about what you did. Someone with no remorse is just wasting tax payers money.
I'm glad the Court set the age of 18 as the youngest age one can "qualify" for it. While I don't think there is a *magic age* it is the legal age to vote and join the military. I also thinks this stops the slipperly slope of how young is too young to receive it.
