i am neither for or against the death penalty. on one hand, fry them, on the other by personal experience, life would truly suck. and i mean life. no parole. here in texas you are eligible for parole in something like 40 years. i myself was on a jury for a capital murder case. guy killed his own kid. we gave him life. there was a mitigating circumstance: his father was his grandfather. either way either sentence would suck. knowing that you are walking down the hall your last time not to return to your "house" ie: cell, knowing that you are about to die would be a very eerie feeling but at the same time a good feeling knowing that you will no longer be held in captivity. whereas if you were locked up for life, you go on for another 20 or even 30 years or however long it takes for you to naturally die. just the system needs to make sure that life really means life. no parole.
