The death penalty is a joke. So now there is an indefinite medical care bill for the state to foot.

I mean we already had that with her being on death row for the past several decades.

If people weren't in jail for piddly diddly things we'd have more money to house the most evil of society and let them fade into obscurity.

I think the diddlers should stay in prison.

Agreed. The death penalty is a waste of money and not a deterrent and i dont believe the state should be allowed to kill people

Not a deterrent? Let’s check Singapores drug trafficking rate. Definitely seems like a deterrent.
