The Politics of the Death Penalty excon 12/27/04

    Hello,

    The death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment and thereby, unconstitutional. Here's one reason why:

    The people who are done in are punished twice for the same crime. They serve the equivalent of what would be a life sentence in most states and THEN they're put to death.

    What's up with that?

    excon

      Clarification/Follow-up by tomder55 on 12/27/04 12:18 pm:
      so it is not the death penalty per se that is cruel and unusual .It is the lack of swift justice . I agree ;the time between sentencing and execution is far too long.
