I am old enough to remember Sydney Silverman, the then M.P. for Nelson putting forward the bill in Parliament during the sixties to end capital punishment. People were told that it would be replaced by life Imprisonment and were led to believe that is exactly what the term meant.

I have always been against capital punishment because of the number of cases of innocent people who over many years have been wrongly hanged.

However, after saying that, I do believe that there should be capital punishment in the case of serial killers where there is conclusive proof, especially, now with DNA that persons or persons have committed so many murders.

Why should the taxpayers being paying for murderers so evil to kept in Prison?
