DEATH PENALTY WOOOO!!!!!!!!

I feel that the death penalty does not stop people from killing people. I think that when they kill someone they are not thinking about what is going to happen next. And even if they are, i think that most people dont care and would rather be dead and if they dont then they should just kill themselves anyways. im not a criminologist so my opinion doesnt matter at all, im just saying that i think when people kill, they dont think about what is going to happen if they get caught so the death penalty wouldnt stop them from killing.

i think that the biggest downfall to the death penalty is that someone who is innocent could be sentenced to the death penalty. while an innocent person is going to die, the real killer is still out there and is most likely going to kill again in my opinion.

The amount of money they spend on these people in jail is crazy. The average cost of keeping a prisoner in jail for 1 year is $22,600. The average time spent on death row is 11 years. This is $248,600 spent on 1 inmate. The average cost per student in public school each year is $9,800 (a difference of $12,800). So, in your 12 years of schooling, the national average is $117,600. I feel that we should stop putting money to these people who dont have a future and give money to the school districts and help kids have futures. if more money would be sent to schools, maybe more kids could do something with their lives and that could lower crime reates a little...maybe.

In my research, i found that the average cost of death penalty is 63.3 million per year. i think that if we are going to do this, it should be done right after the trial when they are proven guilty. i believe that the average dollar amount for a bullet is around 20 cents. this would save lots of time and money if we just got rid of them ASAP. Then with all the extra money, it could go to my bank account because i thought of the idea. (even though im not the first to think of it, i should get the money)

CRAZY LADY

I feel that it was not her fault for killing her 5 kids. it is the fact that she was off of her drugs that she killed her kids. it is the fact that she is mentally insane.before she killed her kids, she kept going in and out of the hospital and it should have been noted that she was crazy and she needed real help for her problems. she should have been put in a real place to help her with her problems and not just give her some pills to take when she can just stop taking them at anytime and go nuts. also she thought about doing this for 2 years prior. during the two years she was on her pills at some point and doing fine im sure, and she was still thinking about doing this. she was at some point in a normal state of mind and was thinking about killing her kids. i would say that she is insane with her pills and deffinitely without them.instead of letting her go with only going into a mental place, she should have had to go to a looney bin and stayed there for a super long time instead of going to a free looney bin where you get to come and go as you please. she should not be aloud to walk the streets because what if she stops taking her medicine? she could think someone else is a bad mom and go kill her and her kids. who knows what this psycho is capable of doing when she is off of her drugs.The insanity law is a good one if you have a history of insanity. the only way you should be able to get off using the insanity plea is by having to stay in a mental facility for a mad long time without a chance for lowering the time or security in which they are being watched over. if the person does not have a history of insanity, then they should have to go to a real jail and have absolutely no chance to go for the insanity plea.
