Rejected petition Bring back the death penalty for child killers and murders

Bring back the death penalty

More details

Current life sentencing is not a good enough deterrent to reduce the heinous crime of premeditated murder. Murders have increased in our country and clearly the deterrents and courts do not scare these evil people in not committing such crimes. Why should these people live if it’s proven without doubt they are guilty they don’t belong in any society.
