I agree with you Davemetalhead - DNA is certainly not 100%. Too many put too much faith in it. It isn't infallible. |

I don't understand why people do/did hanging as a method of killing. Is it a 'cultural thing'?

Sometimes the executioner would have to finish severing the head with a knife...doesn't bear thinking about I think they viewed hanging as being the quickest (and less messiest) way of dispatch. |

all i can say is we will all have to wait and see if it is debated, but if it is then i am sure there will be some human rights goody goody (wanker) who will still try to campain for the lives of trash that dont deserve to live.

Yes, completely true (unfortunately for the recipient)
Here is an exerpt of the notorious executioner Jack Ketch (on the execution of Lord Russell): 'On that occasion, Ketch wielded the instrument of death either with such sadistically nuanced skill or with such lack of simple dexterity—nobody could tell which—that the victim suffered horrifically under blow after blow, each excruciating but not in itself lethal. Even among the bloodthirsty throngs that habitually attended English beheadings, the gory and agonizing display had created such outrage that Ketch felt moved to write and publish a pamphlet title Apologie, in which he excused his performance with the claim that Lord Russell had failed to "dispose himself as was most suitable" and that he was therefore distracted while taking aim on his neck.' |

The ax was quite blunt it crushed more than cut,the sword used in Europe was more effective.

bullet in the back of the head within 5 minutes of being found guilty - much easier than all this faffing around with hanging. I'll even do it for them!

Writing as a fully paid up 'human rights goody goody (wanker)' I will never see capital punishment as anything other than a descent to the moral level of the killer.
