Capital Murder is a legal definition, meaning punishable by the death penalty.  It varies state to state, but usually requires mitigating factors.  Just shooting someone doesn't always do it.  You have to shoot someone while commiting another felony (ie robbing a bank or post office) or multiple murders.  Each state has different laws, but Capital murder means you are eligable for death.

I've included links to the Criminal Code Act and to one state's Islamic Shari'ah Penal Code.  These should help get you started.

Go to yahoo.com and try searching using key terms such as: pro death penalty, pro capital punishment.  Below are a couple of sites I came up with.

I have never heard the term "central punishment" before, nor could I find any reference to it.  Can you give more details or explanation?  The previous posting certainly seems like a possibility - a set punishment for a given misbehavior (for example, the exact same punishment for stealing) without considering individual circumstances.   But I couldn't find any source that suggested that definition.

yes I agree   think  the sentencing  in these  2 countries is  extremely severe  and over the top  and  yes    think  there should  be a standard that all countries  should  adhere to    re...UN  the sentencing  in these  countries  is  barbaric  comes  from the dark ages   and to  sentence  someone  to 99yrs  gees why don't you just hang them  now   why does the  USA  and  other  countries affiliated still have  the barbaric  system of execution  do not recognise any  human rights ... are they still animals  I think so  animals have more rights it seems

Yes, there is so much lobbying for human rights in this country that people who need to be locked up are set free, or given very light sentences.  Longer/more severe sentences would not only keep them off the streets longer, but they would make people more afraid of commiting the crime.  This is why the death penalty works, it scares people.

The end of apartheid also led to the end of the death penalty.. \n\nAs for trials in different times/countries simply different laws. Theoretically a person sentenced to death before the removal could be its then down to human rites groups to get him off.

both allow capital punishment.  until recently both allowed for the execution of people who had committed crimes as a juvenile, i believe.

I am for the death penalty, and for expanding the number of crimes eligible for the death penalty.\n\nI am also for corporal punishment. Caning or whipping can cure a lot of criminal tendencies.\n\nIt is called punishment. There is nothing immoral about harsh punishments. But there is something wrong with failure to punish wrongdoers. Leniency towards evil-doers is surely as immoral as the crimes themselves.
