I’m for execution. Like Martel, I realise actual full-term life imprisonment is infinitely crueler (and costaplentee). But on one very important condition.
If a man (it’s almost never not a man) is subsequently found innocent, his accusers, the investigators, the prosecution counsel, the judge, jury and execution team all get the same, post hoc. And even more importantly, their posthumous total assets seized and liquidated, and given to the deceased’s immediate next of kin as compo.
Yeh OK so they’d work damn’ hard to make sure these judgements could never be revised, appealed or reinvestigated. But they do that already pretty much.
But it would concentrate a few mainly legal minds wonderfully, and I tend to think they would opt for “Unless he’s caught red-handed and waving the scalp and singing, best just hold him in jail until we have better concrete evidence”.
At the moment you can be topped on little more than a denunciation, and lack of a cast-iron alibi.

No death penalty is the best method. If the state is to have a monopoly on the use of violence, then it must make sure not to go too far and execute any innocents. I believe in Blackstone’s formulation: “It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer”. At least the state can make whole those who are wrongly imprisoned or caned, how do you make whole a man who was wrongly executed?
I have to admit that I am confused by the bloodlust demonstrated by some Republicans in the USA. I am in all ways a reactionary conservative, and would go much farther in restoring the “natural order of the world” than any prominent voices in the GOP in the last century, but I am mystified by the rigid adherence to the death penalty amongst my less blunt but mostly ideological brothers down South of the 49th parallel. I support judicial corporal punishment for miscegenation, but the zealous white-knighting support for the death penalty for only men causes my mind to boggle.
