If it’s painless, sure why not

If someone’s been proven to be guilty of crimes that we deem irredeemable, I don’t think it makes sense to keep paying for their existence

Problem is there's plenty of examples where convictions have been overturned, meaning people have been wrongly convinced.

Bit tricky to remedy that when you've killed them.

I don't support the death penalty under any circumstances.

The state should not have the power to decide who lives or dies.

And when they do, occasionally they get it wrong.

I don’t think he gave a fuck about the suffering he inflicted on his victims. Even if it goes terribly wrong, gets no sympathy from me.

We should have capital punishment in the UK. Far too many murderers and sex offenders sat in our jails costing us a fortune.

Now the thread is not about views on the death penalty it's about the method. Previously this person was taken to be killed but they could not find a vein to inject him. Hence this time they plan to use a mask..... This method allegedly has not been used so nobody knows how it will pan out

Hopefully painfully with the final result being death.

In a country that seems to specialise in mass shootings/murders they dont half seem to struggle killing someone legally. The noose or the guillotine would be cheaper and quicker.

Slowly releasing nitrogen into his, body starving him of oxygen. As they were not able to trace a vein. I am not phased he did wrong. Slow painful ending

Americans seem to go to a great deal of effort to make their executions as painless as possible. It’s very odd.

Just develop a really heavy, reliable guillotine. Then get to work creating accommodation vacancies in prison.

I’m 99% sure it’s painless. You fall asleep before you can experience anything. A peaceful way to go

I don’t see the point in adding pain to the death penalty

It’s used to rid the world of people we don’t need. Not as some torture method

Isn’t it essentially death by suffocation? I can’t imagine it to be a peaceful way to go.

The death penalty is a taboo subject should it still exist etc

I feel it should if a person I beyond doubt guilty I.e video evidence and irrefutable crime scene dna evidence etc. Then yes death penalty is suitable if it suits the crime. It’s barbaric but when you look at the likes of Ian Huntley rose west and many more then you can say that the crimes they committed were barbaric and they are never likely to ever be released from prison so why spend thousands housing them

“ The higher cost of the death penalty can be attributed to several factors. Legal processes in capital cases involve extensive pre-trial proceedings, specialized attorneys, and lengthy trials, leading to increased legal expenses. Additionally, the appeals process for death penalty cases tends to be prolonged, further contributing to higher costs.”

“ Factors such as lengthy legal processes, appeals, and specialized housing contribute to the higher costs associated with capital punishment.”

I think there’s a US constitutional bar against “cruel and unusual” punishment. Hence death sentences are supposed to be as painless as possible.

But they keep “irrefutably” catching innocent people. So please, don’t kill them. Better they be kept in jail (which I don’t think is as cushy as some people seem to think) and if they are proven innocent at some future stage, can be released for whatever life they have left. Not proven innocent? Stay in jail.

I googled it and it said that the average execution costs twice as much as the average life sentence.

But, the only data I could find was from America, where people are held on death row for many years before being executed, which surely adds to the cost

I’ve googled after saying “what studies”.

Apparently 75% of cases are changed from the death penalty to something else. So very few cases actually get to execution.

The studies I’ve read suggest it’s the legal costs of facilitating capital trials that have increased costs.

Apparently it’s a $1-1.5million extra to seek the death penalty that just to seek prison time in a trial and $70-90,000 per year to keep a prisoner.

So, there’s a break even point where it’s better to execute them. Much depends on how long the prisoner might live

Hanging as been used for centuries, and is cheap and works. Why keep people like, the moors murderers, or rose west, Yorkshire ripper etc, alive, saves money and gives closure to the victims next of kin. The USA as still got some backbone and I admire it for doing so. We can't even deport dinghy people across the channel to France because of some pathetic EU law.

After that he wasn’t supervised unless he committed a crime or went a mental health place .

Judge could have used a hybrid sentence - detained at high security hospital until well enough to go to max prison etc etc . This sentence gives him opportunity to be released to low secruity prison then released on parole if well enough !

Have to be honest I can’t believe a 9 month arrest warrant wasn’t executed , especially as he assaulted a police man to be arrested in first place .

If you're talking about the 1951 United Nations Convention on Refugees, the UK signed their agreement in 1951 and ratified it in 1954. The UK didn't join the EU (it wasn't called that then) until the 70s, some 20 years or so after signing the convention.

And if you didn't realise, somebody ought to tell you.

The UK isn't in the EU.

UK countries only have to follow the laws in the various UK countries. If it's the same as an EU law, it's because the various UK governments made it law in the UK countries.

That's the problem with Brexit, people getting it wrong.

I was reading about this the other day.

This all boils down to tge fact that the previous attempt by the usual means (lethal injection) failed as they were unable to administer it within the allotted timeframe and thoughts are that a second attempt would also fail so they are considering another means of passing his sentence

Yes this, the US model has always shown this to be the case. The death penalty is far costlier.

Anyway, to the question. Nitrogen is often found to be suitable for pig euthanasia. Since pigs are often used to replace humans in experiments anyway(including toxicity trials) then it should be sound. The pertinent part of this for me is the word 'should'.

Death penalty - still, a no from me.

Going back to the original post and the decision to use Nitrogen.

I'd rather there was no death penalty at all. Life imprisonment, sure.

.

Because I look at ways in which a truly awful situation (eg the murder) can have positive consequences elsewhere.

.

Guards are employed, thus creating job and salaries. A whole other infrastructure exists to keep that person in prison. It's all paid work for someone else. Someone and their family. Someone putting their children through school.

.

So much good can come from such evil, if you allow the good to flourish.

That man's evil actions may have destroyed one family. I feel it is perverse to harm another's because of that.

Death penalties are abhorrent and have no place in any decent society.

The use of Nitrogen should not be permitted, as it causes suffering. They should wait, until they have the previous permitted materials.

"Death penalties are abhorrent and have no place in any decent society.

The previous permitted materials only "worked" without causing suffering, if used very precisely and lots of factors taken into account. There were plenty of prolonged and botched executions with potassium chloride & sodium thiopental etc. Also, the manufacturers of these chemicals no longer wish to supply them for execution, so the outlet is closed.

I think it's time to reassess the death penalty. Clearly, it does not dissuade people from committing violent crime. If it did, the USA would be some kind of super safe utopia.

If we as a civilisation are not able to consider it humane for someone to get help to end their suffering and give them the right to close their life in a dignified way, what right do we have to take someone’s life as a form of punishment ?

Agreed. There does seem to a belief that the more severe the punishment, the more likely the crime will not be committed.

.

Unfortunately the criminally insane ignore that memo and do their thing anyway.

What causes the desperate and distressing need to breathe is an increase in dissolved carbon dioxide in your blood.More specifically the downward blood pH change associated with that. If you (or a pig) are gradually asphyxiated with nitrogen that pH change doesn't occur and the must breathe response isn't triggered. It is therefore a reasonable way to go.

Whether it is right is a different matter. The USA would be the last place on earth to trust that a reliable decision is made by a court. Sad but true.

So as they are writhing there in absolute agony and suffering, you will get to feel the same agonies and suffering their victim felt when they killed and tortured them.

.

You are holding a mirror to them and reliving the distress they caused to another person.

.

Do you think that is a psychologically healthy experience for you ? Do you feel their torture gives you closure ? Why is that ? That imprint is forever in your mind. Do you really want to carry that for the rest of your life ?

Seems rather barbaric, not really a surprise for Alabama though.

I suppose if your thing is killing people who may have killed a person/people and you're struggling to find a way to do it via lethal injection, then this would be an alternative. But why not use tried and tested methods? Electric chair, gassing etc rather than something that's only been tested on mice?

On the other hand, those suggesting firing squad etc why put other people through the trauma? Even the N*zis had to figure something else out because the mental health of said executioners suffered.

I know people who would happily do the shooting, throw the electric switch, kick away the hangman’s stool or swing the axe. I can’t vouch for their current mental health, but at least they’d enjoy their work.

They worked it out pretty quickly. The initial genocide was carried out mainly by shooting people and dumping them in mass pits. But the firing squads became distressed so they developed an "at a distance", more efficient method of mass murder. Gas chambers. The change wasn't to alleviate the suffering of those being murdered, it was to make it easier for the perpetrators to do it.

I think the decision was more about cost and logistics than the feelings of the perpetrators. There’s a good Netflix documentary about a special police battalion (death squads) called “ordinary men”. All volunteers, all given the option not to shoot, all bar 12 (of 700) murdered. i think only about 3 of them went to jail and even then, not for very long.

There is a classic line from Carry On Don't Lose Your Head.

Just as the guillotine was about to drop a man ran out of the crowd with a letter for the victim. Kenneth Williams or whoever was the actor said..

I agree with it, and if those of you who are against it have experienced the sort of evil those who rap e and murder you're loved ones, including kids, family or friends, most of you would agree too..

How much money has the likes of Hindley and Brady cost the UK coffers? Millions and millions. They could have probably build 10 new hospitals for what it's cost to house those monsters.

If there is concrete evidence, then they shouldn't be allowed to live out their days in a warm room with a TV, Xbox and a smuggled iphone so they can continue with their obsession on in inflicting pain and suffering on kids, women and men alike.

The chain of people that are forever affected by what they do is massive, it lasts a lifetime for those who lose someone that way.

I've actually seen messages that some bastard kept sending to someone once he's been put behind bars for a high double figure sentence. No matter how many times she moved or changed her number, he always finds her again.

That's so much worse than someone being given a painless death for what they did. Lifelong torture and a life in constant fear just for falling foul of some creature who imitates being a human being.

So bring it back over here and I for one would happily go and watch.

Alabama before the process had said it would only take 5 minutes..

The other thing about the case is they tried to do this originally via lethal injection.. but they spent 5 hrs on the table looking for a workable vein, and when they did, not enough when in to kill him

How on earth can living in a comfy, warm cell with no remorse, sharing stories with like minded new friends be anywhere near harsher? Granted some people may find it within themselves to forgive, but so many simply cannot move on or get any sort of closure until their attacker has died years down the line.

I saw a film when I was about 10 or 11 called 10 rillington place this made my mind up on the death penalty.

I have been in the prison where Timothy Evan’s was executed (not as an inmate) I have stood where John Christie is buried.

This day and age with the way crimes are investigated I know is a lot more reliable DNA etc. However I still cannot bring myself to support the death penalty.

We have some evil scum who have done unspeakable crimes and acts on others. However I just feel it is outdated and revengeful making us no better than the perpetrators.

I am not going to criticise as I would not know how I felt if it was one of my nearest and dearest who was the victim.

I had a friend who was murdered when I had just left school the perpetrator is out again now and has been for many years to my knowledge he has committed no further offences. At the time I would have happily applied the noose and pulled the leaver, but would I have been right?

The USA still as some backbone, to it's credit. Pity UK doesn't. In shariah law I believe it is up to the relatives of the victim to decide the perpetrators fate. Let the relatives have them for a hour, to do with as they see fit. Obviously equipment, should be provided to them. Or just take them to a high place and throw them.

Well,this may or may not go down well here but we're all entitled to our views so mine is, what that lady who was murdered went through beggars belief so an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. In their country (USA), people know if you're found guilty then the death penalty awaits. The way it's carried out is not our concern. They used nitrogen then so be it.

Please don't send nasty messages to me about this, everyone has an opinion, that's mine.

I disagree with the death penalty. It's a mercy they don't deserve.

We should either have them in permanent solitary confinement or forcefully donate them to manual labour camps or medical testing facilities. That way they can help the species they have tried so hard to harm.

That was fraud. The death penalty for murderers where the evidence is irrefutable would be quite acceptable. Ian Huntley and Levi Bellfield are two who immediately spring to mind.

No it didn't, there was plenty of growing concern amongst a great deal of people. Also we are talking about murderers not fraudsters. There is a big difference.

So many reasons not to have the death penalty and too many convinced that you can 100% guarantee that an innocent person won’t end up executed.

That person could be someone you love you know.

If you go by the US experience of capital punishment, the person will end up on death row for decades, whilst we the tax payer pay for endless appeals.

Those regarded as having a mental illness at the time will end up not being executed, so lawyers will push that as a defence.

Ian Huntley or any other person who deserves it has already been sentenced, so they won’t end up hanging from a noose.

No proof it brings down murder rates.

Rapists or Child Abusers won’t be executed. Only murder or terrorist cases will get even close to the black cap on the judges head.

Juries knowing they could possibly put someone on to death row, may not be able to get to a majority decision. Meaning retrials and the court system already cannot handle the back log of cases.

Very few rich people end up on death row. If you can afford a really good lawyer or know the right people, it’ll only be the poor on death row.

With the recent innocent people being accused of criminality, do you really have that much Faith in the authorities getting every case and investigation being 100% accurate and the right person truly guilty ?

The burden of proof in a criminal trial is beyond all reasonable doubt. It doesn't matter whether it's Murder, Fraud (or false accounting) by sub postmasters or shoplifting.

Each finding of guilt means the jury (or magistrates) were convinced beyond all reasonable doubt.

We know that they sometimes get it wrong.

Sorry I wasn't clear enough for you.

Nobody is talking about executing fraudsters.

What I and several other posters have said is that there is ample evidence of unsafe convictions.

I am against the death penalty on a number of grounds, but just one of them is that I don't think we should execute innocent people.

I would rather keep five hundred murderers in prison than execute one innocent person.

That's what it's got to do with anything.

Slowly releasing nitrogen into his, body starving him of oxygen. As they were not able to trace a vein. I am not phased he did wrong. Slow painful ending

I’m 99% sure it’s painless. You fall asleep before you can experience anything. A peaceful way to go

I don’t see the point in adding pain to the death penalty

The cost of keeping them is a total waste of money.

the death penalty is 100% guaranteed to stop re-offending.If you give someone a whole life tariff what incentive have they got to behave in prison? None,so they become a danger to other prisoners and staff."

But it clearly doesn't stop offending in the US? So, what's the point? They keep people hanging on death row for years, and then kill them by very questionable means? Surely, if that's the system you just stick a bullet in their head after conviction? It'd save a fortune, but a bit shit for those whose appeal is over turned

Should the death penalty be a gentle pain free release.

But if someone murdered one of my loved ones n cold blood I'd like to see then go out screaming and writhing in pain.

I'm on the fence with the death penalty only for the fact that miscarriage of justice do happen, so wouldn't want to see an innocent put to death.

Simply, they gave it the chop.

On the other hand, they do have conscription and send poorly trained soldiers into battle.

I'm all for the death penalty, where there is absolutely no doubt at all.

He was NOT given nitrogen, because they couldn't find a vein. That is not correct.

He was an evil being that did appalling atrocities. He then tried to manipulate the system. He thought by asking for nitrogen and making it his right, it would delay his final day coming. He filed a lawsuit demanding nitrogen and finally got it legalised as a method of execution and gtanted.

He didn't think they'd actually do it, he thought by selecting nitrogen he'd never get that final day.

He was wrong and when he realised they were seriously going to administer his 'wish' he then started to back pedal and his lawyers started another campaign, again to also postpone it.

It didn't do any good. They gave him his wish.

It was a slow and painful execution that took, I recall 22 minutes. Again, trying to avoid his sentence, witnesses say he started pulling at the restraints and held his breath as long as possible, he trird to make out it was excruciating, minutes BEFORE the nitrogen was turned on. They say he did a lot of pain acting, another attempt to get his execution stopped. This brings into doubt how long he was genuinely suffering uncontrollably and how much was an acting.

He deserved what he got!

"If it’s painless, sure why not

If someone’s been proven to be guilty of crimes that we deem irredeemable, I don’t think it makes sense to keep paying for their existence "

You are so right. Anybody found guilty, and only those found guilty., should be executed. People like The Birmingham 6. And The Guilford 4. And The Bridgewater Four. And Timothy Evans. And Stephen Downing . And Stefan Kiszko. And George Kelly, Mahmood Mattan, and George Thather, and Andrew Evans. All found guilty. Can you guess what they all have in common?

In the U.S. in a new report, the Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC) said its examination of every death sentence handed down since 1973 – more than 9,600 in all – revealed that 185 death row inmates had been exonerated after being wrongfully convicted, 11 more than previously known. All 185 clearly innocent people, had been found guilty in a court of law. So yeah, execute all people found guilty of murder.

As it happens that is not the reason I don't agree with the death penalty, although most rational people would agree it's a pretty good reason to oppose the death penalty. I find it barbaric. And no less heinus than certain countries who behead their criminals.

How is "overwhelming" defined. We don't have a judgement called "overwhelmingly guilty". We just have guilty or not guilty, and it is supposed to be "guilty beyond reasonable doubt". Yet, Mr Malkinson was jailed for 17yrs and had appeals refused, until being exonerated recently. The forensic evidence did not support his conviction in the first place and although this evidence became available when he was appealing, the relevant authorities simply ignored it! His crime was supposedly r*pe. Plenty of people on here would have shot him at the point of his conviction, yet he was entirely innocent! How do you exonerate someone you have put to death?

My understanding of American law might be wrong, but death penalties are at state level, not written into the national law. That means individual states would have to have the means of production. It's an expensive job, making medical drugs. I suppose they probably could do it. But there must be a good reason why, otherwise they would produce the stuff that was used for lethal injections previously.

I think they should use these issues as an opportunity for a total rethink.

The Death Penalty doesn’t prevent or stop murder so why have it?

They are having to find other methods of execution since Britain blocked use of one the key drugs America were using for executions by lethal injection.

One state was reduced to using executioners wielding chisels to sever condemned prisoners spinal cords

Americans are vindictive & cruel and if their legal system actually worked they wouldn’t have to resort to barbarities of this nature.

You can never prove or disprove that statement.

I think for some that would love to murder someone, they do think of the consequences of being caught, where capital punishment stops them taking the risk but 15 years is worth it. We will never know.

If someone is a serial killer, after capital punishment, they certainly don't do it again. I think that a result.

America has one of the highest murder rates in the world. It's also one of a few with capital punishment. The evidence suggests that it is not a deterrent.

I think for some that would love to murder someone, they do think of the consequences of being caught, where capital punishment stops them taking the risk but 15 years is worth it. We will never know.

If someone is a serial killer, after capital punishment, they certainly don't do it again. I think that a result.

America has one of the highest murder rates in the world. It's also one of a few with capital punishment. The evidence suggests that it is not a deterrent.

It's also probably the largest country with the largest number of people. Also with many states (is it 52 states) not many have the death penalty. Think there's only about Florida and Texas that do.

So I'd take that 'evidence' with a pinch of salt.

"

Murder RATE. Not absolute numbers. A rate is a number expressed per X of population, allowing direct comparison between countries of different population sizes.

America's murder rate is very high, on the global measurement scale. It has capital punishment in certain states. The capital punishment thing isn't deterring murderers.

hmmm.... how do I put this.

Even if it doesn't deter many thousands of murders and the rate is very high. I don't care.

If the deterrent deters just one person from murdering, then it's worth it in my book.

I'm all for the death penalty. Always will be.

The problem with saying something isn't a deterrent is that you don't know how much/many has been detered,because you can't measure something that hasn't happened because err......it hasn't happened.You don't know how many people have been deterred from drink driving by a Police crackdown because they haven't done it.You don't know how many people have not broken into your home because they have seen your burglar alarm box,because they haven't broken in.To say the death penalty is not a deterrent by quoting actual murder statistics is bollocks.

"The USA still as some backbone, to it's credit. Pity UK doesn't. In shariah law I believe it is up to the relatives of the victim to decide the perpetrators fate. Let the relatives have them for a hour, to do with as they see fit. Obviously equipment, should be provided to them. Or just take them to a high place and throw them. "

Shariah Law......REALLY???

Are you for real?

You are aware that that barbaric law system makes it ok for people to make ANY allegations against someone with little or no concrete proof needed. Women beaten or stoned to death for even kissing someone other than their husband, or sex before marriage.

Gay or bisexual men stoned to death or as you seem to like, thrown from a high building, and if the fall doesn't kill them, then the baying mob below is allowed to beat them to death?

DNA is not infallible, and has in fact been used to convict the innocent.

No, not at all, but I'd vote for the death penalty and it's a very slim risk I'd take. So to answer your question. 100% yes.
