Yes, and the victim's family members should be given the choice of execution.

I'm a merciful person. I believe execution is much kinder than making a person spend the rest of their life in confinement.

(When I say that, at this point someone usually chimes in with "but if they are executed and later found to be innocent, death is final!"

My response to that is, "It's still more merciful to execute someone than to have them spend 10 or 15 years in prison, even if they're innocent.)

The only thing wrong with it is they wait far to long to execute these people,execution should take place no longer then 5 years after conviction,or sooner.

The death penalty is too permanent; we never know with 100% certainty whether or not a person is guilty. If we reduced the prison population by finding alternative solutions to non violent offenders then there would be room and resources to handle the violent offenders without the death penalty.
