In principle I'm against the death penalty. I believe that capital punishment is God's perogative and not mine, and that redemption is possible.
However, that being said--a huge part of me also believes that some people DO commit crimes so henious they have in fact choosen to forfeit their life by their deeds.
I know this is contradictory, its the head vs. the heart. I once met Sister Prejean who wrote "Dead Man Walking" and she is very convincing in her beliefs. Its a tough call, either way. But I also know, that if a daughter of mine were to be brutally raped or murdered like the women in Baton Rouge, I would be first in line to stick the lethal injection in his arm.
