David Milgaard is a cdn who spent something like 20 years in jail for a murder he didnt commit and was only released recently. What would happen if he was executed? While you cant give him back those 20 years, its better than saying "Oops, Im sorry" to his family after you put him to death. To those that support the concept of an eye for an eye, what do you do at that point? Execute the judge, prosecutor and jury that sentenced an innocent man to die?

sure you can't 100% sure........ 20 years ago, but the process today is 1000 times better. 20 years ago. you look like you did something, your guilty, today,..... you had a hotdog before you raped and murdered her......... you should of said no to the onions on that dog sir, take straight to the gallows.
public hangings, rope is cheap and so is wood, no messy head shot to clean up also. forget life sentences, end it right there.
