I wish 17 year old Amelia Sookdeo had an attorney representing her to stop Dane Abdool when he was pouring gasoline on her head and burning her alive!

DeLiberato needs to reflect about the inhumane way her client killed his victim. A needle hardly seems like justice served.

I would rather put fear in the hearts of criminals for the way in which they will be executed. If they don’t expect to be caught then how can they fear the expensive lawyers? Make them fear the execution process. Use the firing squad for murders who use guns, use a gas chambers for murders who suffocate victims, use a French guillotine for murders who use knives, etc. Or just use a minimum amount of electricity to cause death so that they suffer a lot as their victims did. Horrible? Yes it is. I wish it would not be necessary. But we don’t live in a utopian society and never will as long as criminal minds do evil things. Right on, Harvey. No mercy to the trash.

Most criminals don’t expect to be caught and/or punished.
Punishment can only follow arrest and conviction, so harshness of punishment has little effect. (It still punishes those few who are caught and convicted.)

If everyone expected to be caught, convicted and punished with say a thousand dollar fine, most crimes would not happen because most can’t spare the thousand.

Even getting off costs way more than that. Poor OJ beat a slam-dunk double homicide, but it cost him millions. Had he only known the cost …

Criminals who want to kill are NOT afraid of the Death Penalty because of the lethal injection and the time it takes for execution. They know that if they are caught they will spend 20 years or more in jail then get executed in a usually painless manner. Reduce the number of murders by increasing the FEAR of the execution process. Bring back the electric chair and even use firing squad or the French guillotine, depending on the method used by the criminal.

The Florida State Supreme Court has overturned several Death Penalty convictions in the past, most notably for our area the trio who murdered Pensacola banker Mr. McAdams and raped his wife. They received the Death Penalty but it was overturned by the Supremes.

Why do we care about how much the convicted murder feels pain? Consider who much pain they inflict on their victims as they are killed. The more heinous the crime, the more brutal the execution should be.

But seriously, they don’t fear the execution, so they commit the crimes.

Yes, god forbid someone on death row have to suffer. Can’t believe taxpayer money is wasted on stuff like this. I can assure you they weren’t on death row for jay walking.

A unanimous vote for guilt is a finding for facts.
If you don’t think a person is guilty, don’t vote GUILTY, end of problem.

Suggested punishment need not be unanimous unless you want to give the jury absolute authority over punishment — if any — without the judge having a say, courts of appeals having a say, the governor having a say.

Note that an appeals court often decides by a two to one vote and the Supreme Court often decides by a five to four vote, the judge decides by a one to nothing vote.
