Rejected petition Option the death penalty in circumstances where it can be proved intent to kill

Today life has become too cheap and people in this country have no protection from people who take life with no consequence or regret.

More details

This Petition requests the option of the death penalty be available to the courts in circumstances where it can be proved the person or persons have killed with intent and planned to kill.
It is my hope that having this law in place it will make individuals reconsider any action that will cause death to others knowing they can pay the price with their own life.
This law would not be used in cases of accidental death but more for situations where an individual uses a weapon or device for example with intent, and it can be proven.
