In 1978, 15-year-old Mary Vincent, a runaway from Las Vegas, was hitchhiking in California when she accepted a ride from 50-year-old Lawrence Singleton on September 29. Singleton r*ped her, severed both of her forearms with a hatchet, and threw her off a 30-foot cliff into a culvert in Del Puerto Canyon, leaving her to die. Despite her horrific injuries, Mary managed to climb back up the embankment, pack her wounds with mud to slow the bleeding, and walk nearly three miles naked to find help. She was discovered by a passing couple who took her to a hospital, where she survived after losing half her blood. Mary provided a detailed description of Singleton, leading to his arrest and conviction. He was sentenced to 14 years in prison—the maximum allowed at the time—but served only eight years before being paroled in 1987. Later, in 1997, Singleton murdered another woman, Roxanne Hayes, in Florida, and Mary testified against him again, contributing to his death sentence. He died of cancer in prison in 2001. Mary's survival and resilience led to changes in California law, including the "Singleton Bill," which mandates a minimum 25-year sentence for crimes involving torture. She later became an artist and victims' advocate, living with prosthetic arms she customized herself.

Barely alive, she packed her stumps with mud to stop the bleeding, climbed back up, and walked three miles naked to find help.
She began using prosthetic arms within two… pic.twitter.com/1RCXdripGl

I don't get the point in trying to rehabilitate such blatantly evil people. If you abduct and torture someone then you are clearly fundamentally wrong in the head and should never be allowed access to the general public again.

I'll be more extreme and say it applies to even more crimes. Like if you carjack somebody, meaning you threaten to murder them (typically while showing a gun) if they don't surrender their car to you, you clearly have no care for human life and don't belong in society. The ONLY hesitation I have with the death penalty is making absolutely sure that you have the right person, but if you're certain, I don't see why they shouldn't just be summarily shot after the conviction.

I think you could be rehabilitated from a fricking threat. It should definitely be taken way way more seriously than an oopsie of youth, but there's still a fricking real difference between pointing the fricking gun and pulling the fricking trigger, as much as pointing the fricking gun probably gets legally underplayed.

Speaking of the state murdering people, I don't get why they don't just shoot them in the head with an automatic machine, with all the trouble they supposedly have with the lethal injection drugs.
Choose a small caliber so their whole head doesn't blow off, plug it into a computer that automatically generates the date and time of their execution and sets the timer on the gun machine to go off at that time. (And make sure people can't step in front of it accidentally.)
Then they just have to be sat in the chair and you're done. Nobody even has to pull the trigger or make the gun go off.
Anyway that's my platform for 2028. !codecels

+ it's plausible lethal injection is agonisingly painful, but you don't see a reaction since they're sedated. Just shoot them in the head ffs

I saw some pro death penalty rightoids argue that the main reason the establishment refuses to engage with "but only if we're really sure" is it would be the state admitting that beyond all reasonable doubt is mostly bullshit and criminal justice is in reality running on preponderance of evidence.

that's disproportionate if it's just one offense but serial carjackers should absolutely be ganked and I don't think anyone can read about this and still believe in the notion of a "capital crime" as we currently define it. just an instant refutation of the whole concept, not that this should be mindblowing since it wasn't that long ago that we used to kill highwaymen.
