>>> Is that logical? If the law protects the lives of crazed killers, does it not put the lives of the innocent members of society in jeopardy? I support capital punishment, in particular for insane killers who choose their victims indiscriminately, because it makes it impossible for them to kill again & therefore makes law-abiding citizens safer. >>> Capital punishment isn't really the issue in your statement. If someone is legally insane, they cannot and should not be punished. To be liable for an act, a person must have had the capability to do otherwise. If an "insane killer" absolutely could not have done otherwise, we has a right to restrain that person for as long as necessary to protect society; punishment without the guilty having exercised choice, though, doesn't make moral or logical sense.
