I can't really find a way to disagree with you, except:
"i think the father or mother or wife or spouse should be allowed to press the button that get old sparky going and if he cant doit then he can opt
out for life in prisson for the perpetrator. "
What about the taxpayers that have to pay for that mans meals and place to live till he dies??? That is a dilemna that we are facing this day. This
link is just for Florida, but oklahoma is about the same to. I just haven't re-found the oklahoma link.
12. How much does it cost to incarcerate an inmate for a year?
In Fiscal Year 2004-05, it cost $18,108 a year or $49.61 a day to feed, clothe, house, educate and provide medical services for an inmate at a major
prison, which is only $486 more per year than it cost the previous fiscal year. For more inmate cost per day information, go to www.dc.state.fl.us/
pub/annual/ 0405/budget.html.
I haven't been able to find the info for my state, New Mexico yet. If the family of the victim chooses life in prison do we, the taxpayers have to
pay this? Or the victims family? I think the govt should still be in charge of sentencing. I should have to pay for somebody to live even though they
deserve to die.
When I was in high school cops weren't allowed to carry tasers. Now they are commonly used tools????? Have you ever been shot with one of those? They
hurt like nothing else. I wasn't shot by a cop, but I have a few crazy friends. ..... We do see more police brutality now and more tasering.
