No, we have no right to take a life.

It would be the easy way out for him. So it’s better he lives out a miserable existence.

He is getting 3 meals a day in a warm cell with TV
Access to gym .library study
That is better than being hung

I don’t know. Where there’s no doubt (like Axel Rudakabana) I think we should have the death penalty

There have been too many cases "where there is no doubt" which later proved to be wrong.

How many innocent people are we happy to hang in the name of some people's lust for revenge?

Because too many innocent people die that way.
And you cannot bring them back and apologise.

We used to have hanging. A young man with learning difficulties was hanged and it caused uproar. Ditto the last woman to be hanged. A victim of DV.
Yes you hang guilty people but innocent ones too.
It was abolished because people became unhappy with it.
Imagine being accused of something you didn't do. And being sentenced to death for it.

We don’t have the death penalty. That’s why.
