[Debbie25776]

This is tough for anyone who thinks it over thouroughly. There are a few points that outline my beliefs. 1. Literally translated from the original Hebrew, the commandment is more correct as Thou shalt not Murder. Killing for personal gain or passion or a host of other reasons is always wrong. 2. If my failure to kill a murderer causes an innocent’s death, I would hold myself responsible for that innocent’s death. I would have committed murder by inaction. 3. As the wife of a police officer, I have heard and seen people I could not shake the belief that they were just too dangerous to others to live. I would prefer incarceration to the death penalty, to give a chance to those wronged by the justice system. However some criminals have scared me so badly, I believe that incarceration is too mild to protect society. (Interestingly enough, both of the really scary ones were white, so I don’t think any racial bias influenced me on the choice of penalty I would impose.)
