Last time I looked a majority of Brits support the death penalty. Which personally I’ve always found quite disturbing considering all the problems with it.
But 5 mins on any subreddit and you have people frothing at the mouth to hang every criminal.
Which if even more disturbing.
So what do you think?
If the judge and the defendant and the prosecutor all agree that the defendant is guilty and everyone wants the death penalty that’s ok

The defendant saying that they did it doesn’t mean that they did. That could be helping the real guilty party get off.
Not just that. I’ve been convicted of a crime before. If I could plead guilty to something that would get me executed I would. Because at various times I’ve been suicidal.
Not just that but I plead guilty to charges I wasn’t even sure I committed simply out of shame and a lack of self preservation.
It was complicated and I won’t get into it but suffice to say: my experience made me realise criminality isn’t black and white.
