Lack Of Responsibility

The actual standard of wether or not you can execute the mentally HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE is wether or not "They are able to understand they are being put to death and why". Obviously she understands, because she is begging for her life.

It's manslaughter not murder.

He "supposedly" took his own life, that's not the death sentence man.
Regardless, comparing Hitler to this lady is a bit excessive.
Got any better examples?

With so many people on death row (even this article, the murder happened in 2002, it's 8 years later and the *** is still alive!?) Why don't they just get it over with and put them all up in a line, have Krizz and other people from the Armed Forces, Navy, Army, so on aka firing squad, and blast their brains out.

Saves the taxpayers money.
Saves the state and nation money.
Killers are killed.
Everyone's *** happy.

GOD i hate this county.

Sure. Ok people don't kill people guns kill people. Throw the gun in the electric chair! Seriously purposefully taking actions you know will kill someone is murder regardless of the methods you use to accomplish it

Now you are just being a child.
You keep on ignoring the fact that the person who killed these people already died in prison.
IE someone else killed them
IE she didn't kill them.

That's why capital punishment is so expensive, it takes forever in appeals and court hearings and STUFF!

No I'm making a point. You are arguing semantics. Just cause they didn't do the actual killing makes them not the killer is lulz. The only difference in that is the person used an object instead of another person. The intent and results are the same

Nah, it's Manslaughter.

I agree that what she did was wrong, and that yes the punishment should fit the crime, but that life in a box comes with no living expenses, free meals, free cable (in some places), free radio, free showers, and the ability to do whatever you want: walk a track every day, work in the wood/leather/metal industry, cook, read, etc. American citizens pay for prisons to supply inmates with all that. The inmates even have more rights than the officers that guard them. It may be different in other states, but in Texas with some of the biggest prisons in the country, and the hardest criminals, they have a ***load of privileges. My sister, brother-in-law, and I all work for the state prisons here, and let me tell you, some of the inmates have it good. In 2 of our 3 prisons, the food that they get is amazing. They complain about getting fresh homemade pancakes 2 days in a row, because they'd rather have that french toast that will make your grandmother jealous. It's disgusting, the rights that some of these criminals have. So in a sense the death penalty is better, but then there are some who have been in the pen for 40+ years, and have no hope of getting out, so in that case it's more difficult to say which is worse. Living the rest of your life in a paid for hotel room with bars, or getting the death penalty and ending it all then and there. That's just my view on it though.

If you pull a trigger on a gun did you kill the person or did the gun?

Obviously you did because you set into the motion the chain of events that led to the death of a person.

While this lady didn't shoot them herself, had she not taken any action in the first place they would not have died. This was 100% avoidable and she is 100% responsible because of it.

If you break into some1's house to rob them and they die of a heart attack, guess what, you're now guilty of felony murder.

Nah I'm not arguing semantics, I'm arguing ethics man.
I did a bit of an edit on my post :/

and the cycle of violence/murder never ends... good job!

Vinvv

She set up the murder. She had criminal intent. It went thru. She's all happy about it. Now that she's gonna be executed, she's all "noooooo i wanna live! i'm scared of death!" She's not HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE, she's just scared.

too bad her current execution date is 23rd, day after ffxiv's release. I'd love to see it live =(

No... It's seriously Manslaughter.

Unless you directly murder someone it's not murder.

Wha..?

lulz, so stupid she's working to meet a dead man.

oh wait.. there are other things where there's lots of work for dead people: Religion

I beg to differ.

MANSLAUGHTER-The unlawful killing of a human being without malice or premeditation, either express or implied; distinguished from murder, which requires malicious intent

Which makes her accessory before the fact.
Two people conspired to kill other people, one did the killing, one facilitated the killing.
I'm not discrediting how guilty she was in causing the other persons death, I just can't justify killing someone for such a thing, life sentence? yes.
Killing? No.

Don't be so fast to deal out death.

It will if people finally see that USA executes people within a month.

It's called discipline and scaring your people. Yeah it would suck but would you rather go through Detroit ducking in your car knowing you might get hit by a stray bullet or peaceful without little to no crime going on?

"Manslaughter is a legal term for the killing of a human being, in a manner considered by law as less culpable than murder."

people will still have it on their minds they can get away with it.
so i doubt this will intimidate them much lol

Death is nothing. Death only takes under a second to happen in current Capital Punishment laws. Death means nothing.

Now torture them to death, THAT will haunt the soul, if it's even real, not to do that ***again.

Manslaughter in the UK and the USA have different meanings, have at you.

I apologise.

death is something hon.
=o and on your mind it doesn't take a second to happen, maybe to you who isn't dying.

She set up the murder, with the person who murdered them.
She and the murderer conspired to kill.
Who killed whom?
Shallenberger killed them.
Accessory before the fact, not saying that she is innocent, she just doesn't deserve to be put to death.

This is implying there is an afterlife.

Killing someone is not to be taken lightly. You're not only killing a person, you're stopping any future they might have.

No-one should take death as lightly as that.
