I'm not for the death penalty either, but I'd be happy to look away and turn a blind eye in this case.

It will never act as a deterrent but it would be brilliant for the family that is left to know that the guy who did it is not going to be n jjail taking drugs, watching tv and boasting about how he did it for many many years to come

and then get released because he is now a nice person...

My main issue with the death penalty is the room for error

Exactly - my stance against it isn't particularly a moral one, it's the knowledge that the justice system and especially Trial by Jury is so flawed. If it was ever to be used, it would have to be in circumstances where there is absolutely no question of guilt, e.g. the crime was committed openly in a public place.

You can't even 100% trust video footage these days.

Well, it's moral in the way that, imo 100 dead murderers isn't worth the life of 1 innocent man/woman

This is what I think too. Sometimes I hear about cases where you think the death penalty is deserved, but there is always the chance of miscarriages of justice.

same room for error in condemning them to a life in jail

There is but there's always a chance that new evidence arises and they could be freed in that case. There's no coming back after an execution

[rusticgal]

But with Forensics and DNA…if the evidence is overwhelmingly compelling…

It was definitely the boyfriend.
He has a record of violence. But maybe she didn't know.

Probably why she was backing off - the terror they must have endured it is heart breaking
