What crimes are horrific enough to warrant the death penalty?
- Rape.
- Serial molestation of children.
- Murder (1st degree)
- Treason.
Those four in my opinion are non negotiable. The penalty should be applied to the convicted only in the event of DNA or other hard evidence that is very difficult to tamper with. Other crimes may warrant the death penalty, but I'm not going to push for them. I do also think that executions should be public, hanging, firing squads or quick methods of beheading like a guillotine or axe.
