Justice and Fairness Is it ever just or fair for someone to receive the death penalty? Is the death penalty ever acceptable?

Anders Behring Breivik Breivik killed 69 people at a Labour Party youth camp on Utoeya island, having first set off a bomb outside a government building in Oslo, Norway, that killed eight people. He was calm and calculated and showed no remorse In court Breivik said: "There are only two just and fair outcomes of this trial - acquittal (not guilty verdict) or capital punishment. I consider 21 years of prison as a pathetic punishment. Asked if he wanted the court to give him the death penalty, he replied: "No, but I would have respected it. I would not recognise 21 years of prison, it's ridiculous." BBC News link – full story -
