[@harlemhornet]

That poor mother having to watch her son getting put down. That must be every parents worst nightmare. Regardless of what the man did, She still sees the little boy she raised. So sad for her.

[@deedeesigvertsen9157]

harlemhornet OMG! HOW ABOUT THE MOTHERS OF THE PERSONS WHOS LIFE THEY TOOK! WOW

[@harlemhornet]

I figured that would go without saying... While watching this video I am talking about HIS MOTHER. i'm not legitimizing his crimes, I am pointing out that it's a tragedy his mother would see her boy put to death, And that simple aspect alone. YES of course its horrible that the victims families had to go through the same thing, but this video is on his MOTHER. So... because of that ATM I am focusing on his mother's emotions. At NO point did I say i feel worst for her than the other families, or that what he did was legitimate, All i am doing is sympathizing with her seeing her son die because that is what THIS video is about. If this video was about the victims of who he killed I would be sympathizing with them.. It should go without mention that the other family went through a terrible thing as well.

[@volz519]

No one gets the death penalty if it is felt that there isn't enough evidence or proof. The problem is that new evidence can come out, old evidence can be disproven, and it can come to light that a judge or witness was withholding information. But all of those things can happen after someone has already been executed.

"Five-word-long" is correct, but not accurate. The title is four words long, unless you include the name of the program, which makes it six. If you include the name of the channel on which the program aired (considering "MSNBC" a word), it's seven. So, overall, the title of the video is *seven* words long. Under no interpretation can it be five. Now, because even a broken spellcheck is right twice a day, I'll commend you on the one thing you and your thread got right: there are two flaws in said title.

I was an executioner as a guard in 3 different Soviet prisons, including famous Black Dolphin. A group of usually 10 senior guards were in a "death pool" & you were chosen at random, & if you agreed to do it, you were to first read the warrant to the condemned then you ordered them to their knees and without any warning fire a Makarov pistol into the brain behind the right ear into the cerebellum, or brain stem. The convict died before their body started to fall forward. I doubt they even heard the shot it was so quick. All done in a soundproofed cell with no furniture but a pad for the condemned knees. I personally preformed 9 executions, and was in line for Chikatilo. I didn't get picked for him. As far as taking another's life it was sometimes disturbing so we had a priest who would council people after an execution.

Here's something to read about the engineer of the lethal injection machines that might change your mind, Mr. Mandelblum: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_A._Leuchter

[@iRMacMan]

Well, if there is "even the shade of a doubt" of guilt, people are not supposed to be convicted in the first place. Just the same, innocent victims often are and some are even exonerated years later. The advent of DNA evidence brought on a MAJOR flurry of exonerations, even though the justice system fought viciously against re-opening such cases. Presumably they thought it was better to leave innocent folks in prison, or even execute them, just so prosecutors wouldn't look bad. If wrongfully convicted live people are exonerated they can at least be pardoned. Executed innocent people can (and have been) exonerated too, though it doesn't do them much good, does it? More than enough of an argument against capital punishment in my opinion.

[@maverickdallas1004]

A single eyewitness and no concrete physical evidence would not be sufficient for me as a juror to convict, let alone recommend the death penalty! The absence of physical evidence and inherent flaws in eyewitness accounts would leave me with more than just "reasonable doubt" !

[@dylanl.3924]

maverickdallas100 unfortunately if you're black reasonable doubt doesn't exist :/

[@maverickdallas1004]

Dyl Stillchillin...At one point in our history, that actually happened, unfortuately. A lot has improved since then, but still, some laws need to be changed, raising the requirements for imposing the death penalty.

How sad she seen an inmate die alone with nobody around and had a tear drop fall down. How did his victims feel?

[@resaboutb.9566]

Michelle Lyons remembers one execution that stood out in its sadness: the inmate had no witnesses - neither friends or family of his own or friends and family of his victim(s). What's even sadder is that, even though this was one execution that stood out in her memory, she couldn't remember his name.

[@garrydemanty4205]

As a long time supporter of the death penalty I believe that life imprisonment would be more painful then the death penalty knowing that you will never get out would send a message that never put yourself in that kind of a position.

[@gabriellebakaysa5813]

I don't agree the fact that we are executing people who were convicted of murders with only a few known facts and evidence. However, I do agree with executing people who we are sure killed somebody. I think it teaches people that there are worse punishments than just jail time for killing someone. So, even though I don't support us killing people who we are not sure killed someone. I do support executing people we are sure killed someone.

When a person gets the death penalty changes are they provided that "service" to a innocent person. For whatever reason people feel compelled to feel "sorrow" for a "criminal" rather than the "VICTIM"

[@liamcdm3689]

I support capital punishment in principle, but the facts speak for themselves. The scientific evidence points towards the death penalty "NOT deterring violent crime;" not to mention 4% of convicts were innocent. That's 4% too many.

[@GHLIII]

The delay is what makes the procedure untenable for me. Victims' families have to wait a decade or more -- sometimes much more -- for closure. They must attend and endure court after court and never get to move on until that final horrible day. Put the creeps who commit these horrible crimes in a hole and lock it up and forget it.

I live in texas. The reason there are so many executions here compared to other states is because 1st degree murder here is punishable by death. In most states that allow death penalty it's only for the most severe cases like if you killed 5 people or committed a massacre or killed police officers.
