Will start by saying I do not believe in the death penalty . This programme was great all immates. seemed to have made split decisions which were bad and defined the rest of their lives , so far none of them had premeditated murder. Kids aged 13/15 ended up on death row. Guy who had his execution order quashed had 150 year sentence. Just not right in my opinion. I suspect this issue polarises people. . If anyone feels the same and is interested in fighting this injustice a UK charity is frightening against the death penalty Reprieve uk.

If there was any 'justice' he wouldn't be waiting over 10 years to be put to sleep, it should be immediate. He doesn't deserve to breath again, let alone enjoy a TV in his cell.
This sort of show has been done loads of times and generally they have been better to watch than ITVs effort.
The best look at a Death Row Case is 14 days in May. Clive Stafford-Smith working to save Edward Earl Johnson. Suffice to say he failed.

I wouldn't want to kill any living creature, but I'd volunteer to swing the axe for this human filth.....
CP for me is one of a long list of things, that keep society from moving forward and actually trying to solve long term issues.
Reminds me of the times I was sent to stand outside the headmaster's study.
He'd keep you waiting all afternoon, that was the torture - before vindictively thrashing your knuckles with the cane 6 times on each hand. Highlight of his day, sad old bastard.
Murder, rape, Peado filth should all face their maker I am sad to say
It's happened before and it will happen again. I don't want to support that. Can we ever be 100% sure of guilt without tangible video evidence of the crime? I don't think we can.
Like that Huntley , those involved with baby p etc who deserve to die
That being said, I'd like to think that we are medically and scientifically advanced now in this country to be able to use tangible evidence to prove crimes in many cases without video. If there was a chance of 0.0001% of somebody being innocent though, we would kill somebody and destroy families when it was not justified at some point. Just makes me uncomfortable.
Such a complicated topic.
To clarify I'm not for the death penalty but there should be debate on the subject.
If people knew that as a consequence of finding someone guilty they would be executed, there would be members of the jury a lot less likely to find them guilty because of moral implications etc.
I know this isn't the way it's supposed to work, but in reality I'm pretty sure it would work that way.
The conviction rate for murder in the UK significantly rose after the death penalty was abolished but the murder rate did not.
dont believe that ANY goevernment have the right to take life . However some filth dont desrve to live amongst us.
It should never be introduced in this country as it goes against everything we stand for.
i usually enjoy these types of programmes and whilst it was very interesting, agree with Clem that Sir TM was possibly not the best man for the job.
in this country, the bloke who committed double murder at the age of 13 would have been out within 5 years, ready to enjoy the rest of his life.
We should keep certain people behind bars for life but I don't think killing them is the right answer
These animals that openly admit to killing or raping, should be put down. Why should they be able to eat again, or get to watch TV, paid for by us. They lose their right to live when they commit such horrible crimes.
It seems like an extremist view but I've got no time for scumbags.
