Does not apply

9. Should a victim?s family be able to choose between a life sentence and the death penalty for a criminal, allowing that either punishment is suitable?
No

Please explain your answer in the space below:

Yes

10. a) Do you approve of the death penalty? (check one box only)
No

ii) If no, why? (check boxes which apply, and/or write in the space provided)
Other: (write in space below)
While there very well may be some people that deserve it, it's too easily misused. Innocent people are executed. We try to avoid it, but as long as we have the death penalty avilable, it will continue to happen. I have no problem allowing people to keep appealing thier cases al lthe way to the supreme court if neccesary. Many people will make some financial statement here, saying that keeping prisoners in the courts is expensive. I doubt more than $10/year of my tax money goes into appeals courts, and I'd gladdly put another $10/year into those courts if it meant getting innocent people out of jails and off death row.

Uh.... we still have it.

No

No

15. Do you feel that capital punishment is humane? (check one box only)
No

Please explain your answer in the space below:
Killing people isn't humane

16. Assuming that capital punishment is allowed by law, should there be instances where a criminal who normally would receive the death penalty should not receive it?
I can't think of any.

17. If a jury is unwilling to impose the death sentence on the defendant, should the judge have the power to do so? (check one box only)
No

18. Do you know of any instances when a person was executed for crimes they did not commit?
Not specifically off the top of my head, but I know it has happened.
