You're saying that in lawful judgement revenge should be a factor, that's silly unless you want to live in a society where 'an eye for an eye' becomes the norm.
And how is life imprisonment letting someone get away with murder. Getting away with it implies not getting caught, which is irrelevant to it's punishment.

No they shouldnt, they make the goverment spend huge amounts of money just to maintain them alive by giving them food, they should die, more cheaper, besides, killers like these, rapers and so on SHOULD die, there are many complications that follow up for example a rape...

Way to be uninformed, a death penalty costs way more money than life imprisonment.
Also if you stopped raging for a second you would realize that you want someone to die simply because it costs money to let them live, you are disgusting.

What Im saying is that maybe we should let a doctor be the judge of that.

I would like to point out the stupidity of saying that life in prison is worse than the death penalty.
It is not difficult at all to kill ones self in almost any situation. People on death row do not kill themselves, they fight as hard as they can to avoid the death penalty. If life in prison was worse than the death penalty we would have no one serving life in prison because they would give themselves the death penalty.
I would like to know where some people get this ridiculous notion that there is something worse than death? In any case if life in prison is worse than the death penalty then if it is not justifiable to support the death penalty it can't be justifiable to support life in prison.
People in prison get fed and have shelter for nothing. All they have to really worry about is whether or not some other hardened criminal will kill them. Obviously if they are worried about that they must prefer life to death.
Obviously prison isn't a great place to be, but every prisoner has a choice and the vast majority don't choose the death penalty.
This should be so fucking obvious that it really hurts to have to say this.

You know there are people who tried to survive even in concentration camps or goulag... Honestly i don't know if it was really worth it when you know that you are doomed, but you know most of the people will try to survive even in harsh living conditions. But there are also people who will commit suicide, and actually suicide rates are quite high in prison

Certainly, but "quite high" means extremely rare instead of extremely extremely rare.

Suicide rate in prison is really high compared to the suicide rate of the whole population and i think it is true in every country. It isnt extremely rare at all -.-

If we really want it to argue that it is a choice, people in prison should be offered suicide pills along with their meals. There's a lot of effort put into suicide prevention, and suicide isn't as easy as you'd think.

You clearly dont live in a country where there are kidnaps.
Ill enlighten you a bit how it works, the cops in conjunction with criminals stop you in your car, take you by force and kidnap you.
Then they call your family asking to the last penny the entire family has, and just to speed up the process they cut your finger and set it in a nice package to your mom.
You spend 8 months with a blindfold and tied, they cut you and send another 4 fingers just to keep the family scared, you are at the brink of crazyness, and finally the family is able to sell all their properties and belongings, get loans and get in serious debt, everything to gather the millions the kidnappers asked.
The family sends the money, and the kidnappers dont return you, they dont even have the heart to give you a speedy death, they torture you and hang you to instill fear in the next families.
This is not a story i made up, this happened not long ago, and this people dont have the "excuse" of a serial murderer that kills because of a mentall illnes, these are organizations in collusion with the police that do this for money.
Who on earth feels that these people do not deserve to die, seriously i want to know.

Suicide isnt easy? are you stupid, you realize getting acces to a knife in prision is ridiculously easy right? just fucking slit your throat in the middle of the night, oh yeah so hard....

Short of that, they should spend the rest of their days in a cell. hopefully working 16 hours/day productively and repay society a small part of what they took; prisons wouldn't be that full if u knew it meant 16 hours work/daily while u were in them... Good point.  However, the way the economy's going, maybe we'll need all the jobs we can get. Don't let those inmates take em.  They can "do the jobs Americans won't" then we can finally kick out all the mexicans.
Seriously though, I don't see anything wrong with the death penalty. Society is a sum of its parts: its citizens. The highest transgression an individual can perform against the collective, is to murder its components. I see death penalty as reciprocation; it is a rejection of that person: "return to sender" if you will. Is there some metaphysical reason that society shouldn't implement reciprocation?

Everyone is raging so much because they are projecting whatever they are angry about onto the story. Alot of people here have some crazy pent up anger that needs to be addressed. Just remember to control it before you become violent like these scum bags. Logic and emotion (to determine penalty) never mix, especially in cases like this.

Talk of restraint...you aren't exactly a paragon of that virtue. The fact of the matter is that this council had been under pressure for failing to prevent the previous tragic incident of gross negligence committed towards a child; and should have scrutinized every action involving anything to do with this issue. That I am appalled the doctor who examined the child didn't find a broken back, is worthy of being called a retard? Well fuck you. I'm not in some rage of passion, and of COURSE I am speculating; but why can't I make a statement like that. Jesus, half the fucking world would probably be similarly appalled. The woman could have saved the baby's life, could have found something at least.
And it wasn't necessarily an indictment on her capability or perception, just a statement of my being appalled at the fact. I don't know exactly how difficult it would have been to spot that the baby had a broken back, I'm sure it wasn't jutting out every which way. I would expect though that if the examination had been thorough enough something would have been found.
And can you put a fucking sock in these investigative journalist, devil's advocate, perry mason defense lawyer essays on examining evidence and making informed decisions in issues like this? Why I can't I express a knee-jerk reaction? I don't have the time or the desire to research on the facts on something like this. I've read a few papers and had a few discussions, and from what I've read I've concluded that I think the people involved should all lose their jobs. You can go and defend them, or pile on accusations...why should you or I care. The fact of the fucking matter is that this is forum speculation and nothing I say is important because we aren't making the decisions that matter.
Now as for your concept of the death penalty et al...it would have to be classified as a selfish desire that I want the pair dead. But when it comes down to the cold hard facts of day, this lodger guy is a total menace. There's no way he should be allowed into the public again. Thrown away under lock and key...and that he can get a maximum sentence of less than 20 years is, to me, ridiculous. He will hopefully be slaughtered in prison.

Oh my god, this story made me sick. Urgh...

What I find most surprising is how fervently you are arguing, with so little care for the specific issue at hand or the expressing of genuine outrage and sadness on behalf of this little toddler. You are just desperate for an argument, spoiling one would say...picking holes and setting up philosophy shop. It's just attention seeking, intellectual masturbation. If this were a discussion, using this case as case study, about the relatively merits of the death penalty and life imprisonment, witch hunting and media hype; then by all means your strident polemics would be welcome. I don't find it sitting well in a thread like this, however. It feels quite wrong to be arguing about it...essentially distracting one from the actual issue and therefore intellectualizing a clearly emotional episode in society. Arguments aren't always necessary in every thread.
