In such circumstance, if one is presumed innocent until proven guilty, it should be modestly comfortable. Death is not a cruel penalty, living things generally die, sooner or later. Many people believe punishments should be without physical pain. Punishments enforced by man should not consist of prolonged torture, especially for the sake of those who must administer the punishments, but they need not be painless. Some of the most effective punishments involve the brief infliction of physical pain.

The refusal of some to distinguish between the choice of an individual, or group of individuals, to kill another human being without due process of law, and the choice of a society to kill those who break certain laws, is a failure to discern the fundamental natures of good and evil. The death penalty is a penalty that should be mandatory for all crimes that merit it. Other penalties can allow a judge or jury some discretion or leniency with respect to punishments.
