Death penalties are not given in western world but in arab world and in asia.

There are some really inexplicable cases when death penalty was only FAIR punishment.

Case in point, this norwegian killer. He went on a rampage and may not be electrocuted or hanged.

Dont you think it is fair in some cases?

Re: Death penalties

Here’s a current case in the US, where the defendant was convicted and he was sentenced to the death penalty. Despite there being some question of whether or not he was in fact guilty, pleas for clemency have so far been denied.

T](http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/09/20/report-death-row-inmate-davis-denied-clemency/?hpt=hp_t2)his is 4th time that his execution death has been set but this time he has exhausted all the appeal channels.

So there is capital punishment in west. In fact in Nevada, they still have option of “Execution by Shooting”

Re: Death penalties

Death punishments are not given in Pakistan either and God knows lots of people here deserve it! But here, there are a hundred occasions in a year for pardon.

I feel the US has got it right; the Europeans have gone too soft.
