If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

I think she’s earned life in prison at this point. They should stop trying.
She’s not innocent, she’s a murderer, but she also doesn’t deserve to be tortured by the state either. Life in prison.
That she is. She killed her at 19 years old, which is pretty young. In germany, it would be legal not to try her as an adult and she would not get capital punishment. Probably fifteen years and change and getting out if she can be rehabilitated after that. This is just cruel.
She also tried to kill another prisoner several years after her initial crime. That's reason to believe she's more murderous than the average murderer and would present a danger to the public if released.
Life in prison or a mental health facility seems like the only reasonable option to me unless she was able to present compelling evidence that she is no longer dangerous.
I was not aware of that. American prisons are fucked up, so this might still have been a survival situation. But even if not she, like any human, deserves a life in a peaceful person cell with decent food. Prison is about protecting people from her, not about punishment but rehabilitation. And if that is impossible she can't go free but there is no need for revenge in a just society.
That person came out and said later she had intended to kill someone and she did it to try to stop her. Which not all the stories line up but unless she was scared enough of a woman in solitary confinement, I think should could have some bearing on whether or not such should be used against her.
That’s fucking retarted. She literally killed soemone and people are complaining about HER rights. Fuck her she’s a goddamn murderer they should hang her. She plotted and stabbed to death a poor 19 year old girl and you’re like oh Germany that’s only 15 years no big deal. Not surprising Germany doesn’t have respect for human life.
Executions last time I heard, where more expensive anyways.
How? I mean obviously the answer is rancid festering weaponized capitalism, but gawt dayum how can we make 30 years of prisoner rent, food, and clothing cost the same as what should be a milligram of fentanyl?
Most people sentenced to death spend a lot of time fighting in court, which is much more expensive than simply keeping someone alive for 30+ years.

Wouldn't that also be true for someone condemned to life in prison?
In any case, I feel like people given life, especially at 18, should be given the option of death, life sentence is way harsher than death in my eyes.
You also have all those costs while people are on death-row and going through the appeals, which can take decades by itself.
