Capital punishment won't be brought back here anyway but reading John Grisham's 'The Confession' really made up my mind on the subject on which I had previously sat on the fence a bit. There's always a risk of killing an innocent person and that can't be chanced. god only knows how may places like Texas have wrongly executed despite having to go through 10-15 years worth of legal proceedings before hand.

Yeah, that's largely how I feel about the subject. You can execute 1,000 guilty murders, rapists and pedophiles, but if you make one mistake and kill the wrong guy, the whole system becomes invalid. I'm not a believer in an eye-for-an-eye type policy either.

Voluntary manslaughter (which is following a successful defence of what used to be diminished responsibility or provocation, and which has since changed, albeit not significantly), which carried a potential sentence of life. And involuntary manslaughter, most commonly where there was an illegal act - such as an assault - without the necessary mens rea to be murder, and which also carried a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. In one case murder is charged, and the successful defence essentially mitigates the charge to manslaughter. In the other, manslaughter is charged.

Thanks Judge John Deed.

I think the death penalty should be allowed for certain cases, such as Mick Philpott's case. The sick cunt killed 6 children , 6! And to make everything so much worse he doesn't give a shit , you saw how he smiled when he left court and stuck up the two fingers to the public gallery, wanting to sell the teddies outside of his house and demanding he gets the profits and so on. He's a sick creature who deserves to be thrown into a burning house and burnt alive, just as he did to those kids, whether he meant it or not. Recently read an article about a guy in Saudi Arabia who will be paralysed as punishment for paralysing his victim. What better way to punish him? I dunno how the prison system in England is but here in Ireland its a life of luxury. They all have TV's, game console's and all that. Those privileges shouldn't be given to any prisoner. Not a mind someone who murdered another person/persons. We're far too soft its almost embarrassing.

An eye for an eye justice was dated when it was espoused in the Old Testament. Killing a man because you think killing is immoral is illogical, and state-sanctioned murder. Furthermore, if they're dead, there's no punishment.

So I managed to catch the last shuttle bus from work to a bus stop near my work, then managed to take 2 wrong buses and end up further away from home.
I ended up spending more than I would have and took 20 minutes walking home.

I'm a fucking moron.
