If one believes in the death penalty, then the entire juvenile justice system needs to be eliminated, and the death penalty applied to ALL of society without regard to race, religion, sex or age. The death penalty would be reserved for certain heinous crimes with complete disregard for the demographic characteristics of the criminal. Ron (donning my asbestos armor once again ) 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sody Sez: How about an execution based on total amount of prison sentence accrued in a lifetime? ie a person sentenced to a total of ten years in a life time will be executed as undesirable to society. Sentencing could be changed to account for the fact that a person cane reform. ie shorter sentences, and society would rid itself of the person who has no respect for law. Execution would not be a punishment but disposal of an undesirable.
