Whether you’re an eye for an eye guy or a turn the other cheek geek I personally think the death penalty should be given the chop. You can argue until your black and blue about the morals behind it, but the clincher for me will always be that humans are fallible.
You can never know for sure whether someone is truly guilty or not. They may well be proved guilty beyond reasonable doubt, but that’s not enough.
I’ve always found the idea of the last meal quite a strange concept, and it turns out quite a few others agree. Here’s a few photos of “criminals'” last meals before facing the long good night.
Cameron requested tater tots, onion rings, enchiladas, and two slices of pie.
Claude asked for steak, eggs, toast with jam, and a single sausage. Why a single sausage?
David asked for fried chicken, fries, tea, coffee, Coke, and chocolate ice cream.
He requested steak, eggs, potatoes, and toast.
Ruben requested fried chicken and rice
Pretty depressing really. And the take home message?: Humans are rarely right.
