what do you think about capital punishment well i'm kind of in favor of it for certain crimes yeah which crimes do you feel that well i think first degree murder um probably warrants it yeah because most so many times that's so brutal and just recurrent right felons i think should also exactly recurrent crimes like serial rapists or serial murderers or whatever yeah i come from a state that has well i originally come from a state that has uh the death penalty i come from Florida and uh they're pretty liberal on it they tend to like fry people left and right which go ahead uh-huh yeah that's a go ahead Texas is too Texas i saw on TV the other night is the has had forty six in like the past several years yeah so they're pretty hip on it too i guess they do it by lethal injection at Huntsville yeah okay i think Florida still uses electric chair yeah um i don't i don't know in some ways i don't like it because it's like you're playing God yeah and that's not you know i don't think that's right but on the other hand there's a lot of advantages to it i think crime rates deterred a little bit by using it yeah and of course you have some savings in terms of taxpayer money keeping people in jail or not yeah um with Florida that's a big problem because there's so many people in jail that they have to let them out every year they yeah that's what's happening here there is like um that's in fact a big gubernatorial issue is the the turn over rates of um-hum um repeat uh repeat offenders being let out and doing it again sure and it's like you know that's a big problem but there's not a whole lot you can do about it because there's only so many jails you can build um-hum and it's really you know it's it gets to be a a really a big problem yeah um go ahead i wish if they if they were gonna do it they would be a little more consistent in dealing with who gets lethal injection and who doesn't be a little more you know not being able to put it off for fifteen years right um-hum yeah because a lot of these guys you know they get in and they they get off for good behavior and i don't know i mean up in Minnesota where i am now they don't have the death penalty and you can almost sense that people are just laughing at the system you know because they figure well you know sure i i get thirty or forty years for maybe rape or something um but then for if i if i elicit good behavior i'm out in maybe five or ten oh really oh sure you know i mean just because like we said before they don't have enough room in the jails um you know there's a lot of incentive for them to be let out early goodness um-hum yeah but if you've got the death penalty hanging over your head um i don't know i think that may solve a lot of that maybe not solve it but yeah i don't know maybe even help a little bit i yeah i tend to think the repeal system for the death penalty is a little little too lenient um kind of takes away yeah from the significance of the death penalty um-hum what do you do Georgeanne i'm a graduate student at the University of Texas in Dallas oh okay great what program you in um Audiology okay fantastic uh i'm a doctoral student at University of Central Florida yeah what do you do oh really yeah i'm doing an internship up at Honeywell oh really neat uh yeah but um i don't know it's it's an interesting issue there's like you say in Texas there's been quite a few and and in Florida in the last few years i think there's been a lot i can't i i mean i can't give you figures but um yeah i just and this was in conjunction with a guy that was put in the gas chamber in California so i i think it the forty sixth in last twenty five years i think it's what they gave a run down that Texas uh-huh oh is that right okay Texas tends to be a little more robust and disciplined area then yeah i i kind of yeah i've heard things about that i've heard that they don't mess around very much yeah yeah um they they don't get repealed as easily as they do um-hum like in the guy in California got third you know twice before he went to the gas chamber and then they said okay no you don't have to go and then they took him back i mean it just seems jeez that's a lot of repeals yeah it just seemed a little inconsistent and then you had like who you have these people who are serial killers that didn't even get the death sentence back whenever you know um-hum yeah i don't know i i'm trying to think about other crimes that would warrant it uh i guess what is it what's the policy now with treason do they uh do they axe you for treason or is it a life sentence i no i don't i don't think um the military doesn't execute anymore so yeah or death before the firing squad or whatever yeah so i think about the only one is um rape
