I agree that there should be no difference in punishment for the life of a police officer & that of the man in the street.

I also agree that where there is D.N.A proof & a jury convicts someone then the death sentence should be brought in. But what about cases where there is very little or no forensic evidence & a person is convicted by a jury? Not too sure about that one as jury members are only human & do make mistakes, thats when miscarriages of justice happen.

As has already been said on here judges are too soft with their punishments now, which one of them would have the bottle to hand out the death penalty.

There have been many cases where psychiatrists have been fooled into thinking criminals are safe to be let out of prison only for them to kill again. Sick or evil people are often very clever but life should mean life NOT 15/20 years
