These past couple of days, a canadian has been sentenced to death after beeing accused of killing 2 Blackfoot members. Ronald Smith, the only canadian that has been sentenced to death in the United States, his execution was rescheduled to the 31 of January 2011. His execution was picked to be a lethal injection, but the canadian courts have been fighting to stop the execution and not do it, because they think its cruel and not a good way of treating a human. In the years, both sides have been arguing to find out who will take care of the execution, but in the canadian justice, it is illigal to kill or execute someone. Smith has been given many choices, and has been asked many times, if he would go to prison for the rest of his life but he denied that and chose the execution, Smith pleaded guilty on all counts of murder and has been going in and out of court to find out what will happen to him. Before the the execution date, smith will be given other chances and the court will wait for his final decision until then he is still on death row.
In my opinion, i think the court has the right to do anything to him, and give them all they've got, because he commited a very bad crime and he should be punished or executed the same way he killed those 2 people.
Doesn't this go against your previous blog :'Execution is never the answer'?
