Default Death Penalty

Quote:
EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. — A woman accused of killing a pregnant woman and her fetus told police she drowned the woman's three young children and stuffed them into a washer and dryer at their apartment, an official said Sunday.

Preliminary autopsies on the dead children Sunday appear to show they were drowned, Ace Hart, a deputy St. Clair County coroner, told The Associated Press.

As of Sunday, Tiffany Hall, 24, had not been charged in the children's deaths, but prosecutors on Saturday accused Hall of killing their mother, Jimella Tunstall, 23, and her fetus. The fetus had been cut from her womb, authorities said

Sum it up Tiffany Hall killed the mom cut the fetus out of her + she drowned the other three children and stuffed their bodies in a washer and dryer.
SO if we throw in the unborn-that 5 murders.

So tell me why this person should not get Death.

I could support the death penalty for this one.

On the other hand, it seems obvious that she is completely nuts. Executing crazy people isn't something we should be eagerly doing.

Either way, she shouldn't breathe free air for the rest of her life.

air in prison is also free, and so is food.

The death penalty is a symptom of an uncivilised people.

Because in Liberal America...values/morals are all relative.

Deliberately taking the life of five innocents isn't worth the life of one dangerous killer.

...they might have had a disturbing childhood or something...and we don't want to be insennnnnsitive now...do we?

Default Me personally

I don't have a problem with the death penalty in this specific case, where things are pretty cut and dry. It's the other cases where things aren't nearly so certain that I have a problem with the death penalty. Not to mention the racially motivated arrests among others. Like a black convict who met the description of "black male, around 6' in his late 30's". It seems to me that not executing the criminal in the specified case is well worth not executing innocent people in other cases.

Default What are we to think?

This horrendous case really stuns me. The lack of any conscience of Tiffany Hall, 24, has just got one to wonder what in the heck is this world coming to.

I'm 100% against the death penalty -- its more expensive than life in prison and to a lot of people it's a very easy punishment -- they don't care about life -- their own and anyone else's -- at all so the death penalty is actually a relief for them.

I think I like Kindy Friedman's idea (however racist it actually was) of throwing a person into a cell with a crazy person (Kinky said crazy negro) talking nonesense and throwing away the key. Letting them live on the minimum diet of water and moldy bread.

But that would not be christian and it kind of makes me a hypocrite to feel so strongly against torture and then to mentally imaging doing such torture -- nevertheless, Tiffany Hall is a true monster.

I'm at a loss what the appropriate punishment should be but I do not believe for one second that she's mentally unstable. Everything she did, as horrible as it was, was done with a purpose -- to steal the victim's baby.

Have to wonder if she didn't tell her boyfriend about what she had done, if she would have been caught.

Just more proof that the death penalty is not a deterrent to crime. People kill either in the heat of the moment, or because they are mentally sick, or because they were abused as children. Sometimes all three. I believe in life in prison w/o parole but I'm not into murdering the murderers.

because there is a chance she may be innocent. The death penalty was built for people like her.
