Would it not be in everyones interest to re-instate the death penalty and give EVERYONE the proper right and chance for justice, this time however the victims famillies too get a look in, its long overdue and its a FACT it also saves lives, as "lifers" DO kill again.

The problem is who gets the make the decison? Who decides that this one dies but that ones crime is not severe enough for them to die? This is my main problem with the death penalty for certain crimes. In principle its a fiar point but in reality some cases would go round and round in court for years.
