australia capital punishment

the death penalty should be re-introduced to Australia?

Pros and cons (cons hopefully more)

Before you decide to take a look at the U.S. experience with the death penalty. 127 people on death rows released with proof that they were unjustly convicted. DNA, available in less than 10% of homicides, can not guarantee not to execute innocent people. The death penalty does not prevent others from committing murder. No reliable study shows the death penalty deters others. Homicide rates are higher in states and regions that have it than those who do not. We have a good alternative, life without parole, in the books in 48 states. This means what it says. Life without parole costs less than the death penalty. The death penalty is more expensive than life in prison, especially due to the upfront costs (before and during the initial trial) legal process that is supposed to prevent executions of innocent people. The death penalty is not reserved for the worst crimes, but for defendants with the worst lawyers. It applies to people with money. When is the last time a wealthy person was sentenced to death, much unless executed? The death penalty does not necessarily help families of murder victims. Of murder victim family members have stated that the lengthy process of death penalty is painful for them and that life without parole is a suitable alternative. Problems with speeding up the process. More than 50 of the innocent people released of the death penalty had already served more than a decade. To speed up the process and we will execute innocent people.
