It's not this specific case that suggests why killing prisoners is wrong, but others where it's not so cut and dry..
A man was recently pardoned after years in prison for a crime he did not commit - he was on a whole life sentence.
If killing someone for their crimes becomes legal, this man may have been killed for a crime he didn't commit and would never have seen a free day again.
By maintaing the system currently in place where we don't kill prisoners, there is the opportunities for miscarriages of justice to be somewhat rectified.
Can't bring a man back from the dead, but we can give him a million pounds for the false imprisonment and his freedom for the rest of his days.
I never said she needs to be put to death or advocated for such, I just hope she never gets out so that she can harm another person. Anyway, I assumed they didn't have the death penalty in Britain.
My bad, I made an assumption based on the earlier stance in the thread of this woman getting the death penalty.
All good.
