If there is a credible eye witness to the crime, I think the minute they are found guilty and sentenced to death they should be taken out in the alley and the sentence carried out with extreme prejudice. Same with people who confess. Like that bastard that kidnapped, molested and buried alive that girl in FLA. The second he confessed his next words should have been gurgle gurgle... then his last breath. He should not have made it out of the interrogation room.
Apart from those two examples, I am getting less willing to put folks to death. To many folks who have been convicted on "credible evidence" are being found innocent years later and released. People are broken, that includes people on juries. I am really undecided here.
Kids being charged as adults? Yeah, especially for particuliarly vicious crimes. Being a parent, I also know your average kid doesn't end up that way alone unless they are a true sociopath. I think parents should be looked at as well. Whether through neglect or direct corruption, parents need to return to being held responsible for the heathens they let lose on the world.
