05 Oct 11 Death Penalty: For Or Against?
When I read about cases such as Troy Davis, who was recently executed for murder, in Georgia, even though it appeared that the jurors were threatened, that someone else had confessed to the murder, and the evidence wasn’t concrete, I find myself asking how I feel about capital punishment.
Then a few days later, I read about how David Simmonds, brutally murdered Jia Ashton. Simmonds, at 6ft 2in and 19 stone, was more than three times the weight of his victim who was 4ft 11in and weighed six-and-a-half stone. Then I find myself asking why we don’t still have the death penalty in the UK, as a sub-human vermin such as Simmonds deserves no less than execution. I truly hope he is viciously beaten or murdered in jail.

Three-year old Tiffany Wright was neglected and left in what prosecutors called “filth and squalor” by her mother and stepfather in the Sheffield pub they ran. She died of bronchial pneumonia directly attributable to chronic malnutrition.
Sheffield Crown Court heard Tiffany’s decomposing body was found in an insect-infested room in the Scarbrough Arms pub in Upperthorpe, Sheffield, in September 2007
Sabrina Hirst, 22, was jailed for 12 years for manslaughter. Robert Hirst, 44, got five years for child cruelty. The death penalty would have been more appropriate, if it still existed in the UK, that is.
