Capital Murder Trial Starts Monday

Big Sarge · 04-26-2011, 01:51 PM

We have a capital murder trial starting Monday from a 2008 homicide. I have 2 officers in my department that assisted the nearby town where it occurred, so they'll be witnesses.

Also last Friday, 2 local thugs driving a stolen car crashed head on into another vehicle, killing the driver. They bailed on foot and were latter captured. This is in the town that joins my city limits and they were running because they were wanted by my PD. These guys are facing depraved heart murder (hopefully).

Getting to the point of this, how do you feel about the death penalty & why? I've witnessed an execution.

I cannot bring myself to approve of it.

life sentence, no parole.

I'm against the death penalty because if just one mistake is made, it's one mistake too many.

Sheldonrs · 04-26-2011, 02:25 PM

I am for the death penalty if there is no chance of a mistake being made. Or if it's Lindsey Lohan.

Trilby · 04-26-2011, 02:25 PM

Well, obviously if it's Lindsay Lohan.

Depraved heart murder?

Depraved-heart murder, also known as depraved-indifference murder, is an American legal term for an action that demonstrates a "callous disregard for human life" and results in death. In most states, depraved heart killings constitute second-degree murder.[1]
If no death results, such acts would generally be defined as reckless endangerment and possibly other crimes, such as assault.
[edit]Common law background

The common law punishes unintentional homicide as murder if the defendant commits an act of gross recklessness. A classic example of depraved-heart murder under the common law is in the case Commonwealth v. Malone, where the court affirmed the second-degree murder conviction of a teenager for a death arising from a game of Russian roulette.[2]
[edit]Under the Model Penal Code

Depraved-heart murder is recognized in the Model Penal Code § 210.2(1)(b).[3] The Model Penal Code considers unintentional killing to constitute murder when the conduct of the defendant manifests "extreme indifference to the value of human life".

If killing is wrong then it's wrong.

No death penalty.

I agree with all of this, however, except for footfootfoot, whose answer is obvious, are you guys voting in the poll to turn the other cheek? I was shocked to see so many people chose that option.

In spite of the fact that I do agree that there are some people who "just need killin'", I'm completely against state sanctioned murder, so I voted life without parole.
