Wouldn't it be quicker and more reliable to shoot both the chest and the brain? I assume if you shoot just the chest you still have a few seconds whereas a bullet through the head should be immediate, no?

Brain is a smaller target. People get nervous when killing another human and the last thing you want is some guy screaming with his ear blown off...Of course, we could do it like the Chinese and just use a pistol shot to the back of the head at powder burn range.
Also, the body is the family's property after the execution. A rifle round can do some interesting things to a skull...It would take a first class undertaker to reconstruct that...

Well, consider this: Thousands of people commit suicide by blowing their brain out. But I've never heard of suicide by shooting in the chest. There must be a reason...

Women often shoot themselves in the chest. Don't want to mess up their face for the casket.

Nitrogen. Best way.

it's not that easy to aim a handgun into your chest. much easier to the side of the head or up ones mouth. If I had to choose between the three, after hearing some real horror stories on lethal injection, firing squad would be an easy pick for me. And fuggedabout electric chair. Their is no instantaneous death with that one.

Any way you cut it it's a grisly, unnatural business. We'd be best off without it.
And it’s cheaper to just imprison them for life without parole.

A childhood friend of mine who became a cop shot himself in the chest. Presumably he did it so him mom could have an open casket funeral.

Agree. Death penalty is not stopping anybody from dong bad crimes.

I beg to differ. Dead people do not commit crimes of any kind.

Hmm, Someone smarter than I could do a data analysis to show that death penalty does not result and any change in (violent?) crime rate.
I am not against the death penalty, but to say that a reason to have it is because it prevents crime I dont believe is true. I think that the reason people want to have it is for "revenge", which I can understand.

I think I'm the only one here that routinely visited jails and prisons.
Cruel is a life in prison.
By the time you die, nobody cares or wants you. They put you in a cardboard box and bury you in the pauper's field with a number tag or in the prison graveyard.

If you asked them, would they tell you they'd rather be dead?
Education is extremely important.

This. Life in prison is a pretty severe sentence.
