i've brought up capital punishment before and i'd like to say a few things again.  in my opinion, and i am very much in favor of capital punishment, there are some cases that are so cruel, almost to the point of being unbelievable, that capital punishment is the only answer.  before we start, can you agree with me that in some cases...SOME..that capital punishment is warranted? thank you and then i'll get into specifics

Yes, I agree that in some cases capital punishment is warranted. Some examples of cases where capital punishment could be justified are cases involving first-degree murder and treason. Additionally, in cases where capital punishment has been abolished, cases involving aggravated battery or death may still warrant the death penalty due to the severity of the crime. However, it should be applied only judiciously and with great care.
