No, too many people are innocently convicted

A primary concern for many libertarians regarding the death penalty is the risk of executing innocent people. They argue that the government should not have the power to take a life, especially when there is a possibility of wrongful conviction. This concern aligns with the libertarian emphasis on individual liberty and limited government intervention.

Agree

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence

Many libertarians argue that life in prison is a harsher sentence than the death penalty and that it is a more appropriate punishment for serious crimes. This stance aligns with the libertarian principle of limiting government power, as it avoids giving the government the authority to take a life. However, some libertarians may still support the death penalty in certain cases.

Disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

Allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment is not a typical libertarian stance, as it could lead to arbitrary and potentially unjust outcomes. Libertarians generally advocate for a consistent rule of law and may argue that the justice system, rather than individuals, should determine appropriate punishments for crimes. This position also raises concerns about the potential for abuse and vigilantism.
