No, principally due to the dishonesty of the criminal justice system. However, life for the worse types of murders should mean exactly that...
Yes but don't forget they are in foreign countries where the police and justice system is not as good as ours.
Good point well made making the rationalisation of their fate even more remarkable: for the greater good and all that.

That is so cliché. How can anyone possibly know that?
What we do know for a fact, is those executed for murder have a zero re offending rate.
It should be a case by case thing. Say if a couple of blokes have a fist fight and one lands a killer blow, should they be executed. Not in my opinion unless they are known for trying to kill people.
If someone starts a fight on a couple of innocent blokes, and then comes back and stabs them both to death, for no other reason than he wanted a fight, then IMO yes, show me the button and I'll push it for you.

Hillsborough, Rochdale, Saville to name but three. You can get fined more for not having a TV license than you can for assaulting someone. Yes we have the greatest police and justice systems in the world don't we!
and Stephen Lawrence. Yes they have improved to be fair but I don't think they are perfect just obviously better than the foreign cops.

Yes. But they would say that, wouldn't they.
Death Row Tull?
How can anyone justify putting 2 more parents through what the murdered men's parents have just gone through, when their sons were killed.
And just how will taking someone's life help the bereaved parents either. Even if they do want the death penalty, just how long will their sense of justice last. All but 30 minutes I would imagine, whereas a life prison sentence their solace might just help them for a bit longer.
On top of that, no one has the right to end someone else's life, not even the courts in Malaysia or anywhere else for that matter

That's why you have sentences of 2nd degree murder and manslaughter.

That's right!!
No such thing as 2nd degree murder under English Law - there's only murder and manslaughter.

No.
Apart from the small fact that it isn't right.
