Yesterday was the annual "Day against the "Death Penalty" ! Alas, there are real questions, which are never properly addressed by opponents who are against the Death Penalty.
1 Should there not be a "Day for the Human Right to Live" ?
2 Should the Death Penalty not be retained to deter recidivist Murderers and Mass Killers like terrorists ?
3 Should the basic principle of Criminal Law not be to protect Society and innocent civilians ?
The prime object of any sane legal system must be deter crime by prescribing punishments, but which only independent Judges are then permitted to impose after having heard all the evidence.
The imposition of the Death Penalty should never be at the discretion of a political Leader or Head of State. There should always be a System of Appeal.
The total abolition of the Death Penalty is an error !
