Apparently, since being given a future isn't the same as compensation for the past.

Hard to say. Your question is too open ended. If the choice is life with no possibility of parole or parole will be when I am 99 yo, absolutely. I'd rather be dead

If you're that concerned about the lifers' emotional well-being, then you could give a life sentence with the inmate being given a suicide capsule to use at their discretion.

Every inmate with a cyanide tab in their posession. That would prove to be interesting............

Not really. Hitler and Co did give Roem a pistol and 10 mins to use it before going in and doing the job

I'm not and yes, they should have that option. I always believed that if you say it is your life, it is yours to do with as you please.

My point was that by taking a perp's life you are doing the same thing IN P{PRINCIPLE as incarceration from the standpoint that you are taking something you can never give back. The only difference being that the punishers can talk themselves into believing that if a mistake was made, they can make it right by tossing the ex-perp, current victim a few bucks, sweep it under the rug and go home to bed.

So, smart enough to get picked for this particular jury duty?

Money grubbing carbon-based low lifes of this ilk ALWAYS breed more spawn just like themselves.

Circle of life . . . the only reason for it is that there's an audience. An audience that seems to rabidly consume stories about the misfortunes of middle class Caucasian young women.

That must also be the Jerry Springer, National Inquirer et al, audience.
