With today's technological advances in DNA testing and Forensic science, it is capable to rule a person 100% innocent of the crime.
This means, if anyone was sentenced today based on DNA testing, Forensic Science, and other circumstantial evidence, then it would be nearly impossible for an innocent inmate to get executed. Executing those who commit heinous acts of crime including murder and rape should not have a chance to live in prison where they might be able to murder or rape again.
Giving inmates life in prison without parole also runs the risks of them escaping from prison and causing terror on the streets. They have nothing to live for so why wouldn't they try escaping. Finally executing the death penalty would provide some sort of closure for the victim and their family because they wouldn't have to worry about the inmate ever again.
We, the undersigned, request that New York State enforce the death penalty within ten years from the sentencing date.
Those eligible for the death penalty should be any type of murderers depending on how atrocious the murder is, and serial rapists should also be eligible for the death penalty.
