Totally against the death penalty.
I am also, for the most part, against whole-life tarifs without possibility of parole. Only in cases where the criminal can be shown to be too dangerous and where there is a likelihood of them remaining too dangerous can that be justified in my mind. As a way of protecting society rather than as a method of punishment.
To me, endless punishment without the hope of redemption/atonement seems pointless and cruel. And justice without compassion for the guilty is just vengeance.
I voted 25 years.
Though in truth I think that's too long a sentence. Given that there was no active intent to kill, I think a ten year sentence would be more appropriate. Still very harsh for something that was unintended, but that's by the by.
