[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 399855, member: 1514"] Mutt...you are right. They say the sound bites of "Well of course he is crazy, look what he did! But that doesnt mean he shouldnt get the death penalty." There are the true sociopath's who kill for the sheer thrill of killing someone. There is true evil in this world. I do believe that and I believe that a very few people may deserve the death sentence. No where near as many as get it applied to them. I do not think it serves as a deterrent like it was supposedly put into law to do. In my mind, life in jail with no parole is far harsher. I dont believe in treating kids as adults either. Not when it is scientifically proven that the part of the brain that controls impulse control and realizing consequences of right from wrong behavior doesnt completely finish growing until a person is 25...and if they use drugs or alcohol, they can do permanent damage to that part of the brain? Oh yeah right...lets lock up a 10 or 12 year old as an adult who doesnt have the brain of an adult and may have already caused his brain to be damaged. That makes perfect sense to me. [/QUOTE]
