Rejected petition Re-introduce the death penalty

We should reintroduce the death penalty for the most serious of crimes, where there is no question someone has committed the offence and in the most severe circumstances (crimes against children, terror offences etc) there should not be life terms, this is a huge waste of taxpayers money.

More details

Change the law to reintroduce the death penalty, the justice system in the country is broken. The worst of the worst can be sentenced to “life” and be out in 20 years. It’s wrong and needs to change.
