Capital Punishment

I have always believed in Capital punishment  for certain crimes. Child killers for one  I believe have no defence. I cant imagine any circumstance where the murder of a child could in any way have a mitigating circumstance other than mental illness in which case the perpetrator should be locked up and never released. The ultimate punishment was abolished in 1969 five years after Peter Anthony Allen became the last person hanged in the UK  in 1964. Opponents of capital punishment always argued a miscarriage of justice could result in a life being taken in error. And there are indeed examples throughout history of this happening. One of the most famous cases in this country was that of James Hanratty who in 1961 raped Valerie Storie then shot her leaving her for dead . Then robbed and killed her boyfriend. Friends of Hanratty refused to accept his guilt and Lobbied for a pardon until 1998 when the courts finally ruled that is wasnt an unsafe conviction. Though in Hanrattys case it was never proved conclusively either way and debate rages until this day. However with the advances in DNA technology wrongful execution would be almost impossible. Why do I bring up capital punishment?. Yesterday 21 year old Claire Wilson was walking to work  in Grimsby when a 53 year old stranger in a random and unprovoked attacked stabbed her in the back Miss Wilson was left to die in the street Miss Wilson was 7 months pregnant. Two lives snatched suddenly. One cruelly taken before it had a chance to start.  When is a politician going to be brave enough to stand up and say lets bring it back. Because if an MP ever wanted to find a vote winner here it is.
