Hi to All,
My name is Liliana Marinic, I come from Belgrade, Serbia&Montenegro (former Yugoslavia). We do not have death penalty over here, but people in my country have suffered a lot in other ways, as you know we had a war and we were bombed, so a lot of innocent people were killed. Hope it never happens again.
When I think of death penalty I find it terrible wrong in more than one way:
First, courts and judges convict in the name of PEOPLE! What a hypocrisy..who has right to kill someone in the name of others?!?! Till there is just one citizen who is against death penalty no one can kill in his name!
Second, if you kill someone because he/she killed another human being, what makes you better? Execution is murder with deliberation (premeditated)..the worst kind, so every judge that signs death conviction should end on the death row!
Third, and maybe the most important is when you send someone to death you are punishing so many innocent people more than convicted person. Everyone of you who is a parent knows very well how much harder is to loose your child than your life. All, or almost all parents wouldn’t hesitate a second to give their life for the life of their child..I would like to ask those of you who are in the favor of death penalty to think about that.
Sorry if I made some grammar and spelling mistakes, and thank you for your time.

pleased to meet you, lovely to have you join us here. I agree with you the death penalty is SO wrong. There's enough suffering in the world today with wars, as you know more than most of us, without outdated laws making things worse 
Welcome, look forward to getting to know you, love Mo
