UAa there is no legal basis for this, it’s more of a philosophy question as of now.
But not all confessions are legit. Someone could easily threaten the lives of one’s loved ones and get a fake confession.
So in reference to the original question (why no capital punishment for all henious crimes) is that there is no scope for recourse in case some misstep occurs and someone innocent gets convicted.
This is why there is no provision for capital punishment except for the rarest of rare cases, which are deemed worthy by the court. Then it is the court’s duty to make sure that the person hanged is the actual culprit and not someone innocent.
Also, jail isn’t any consolation either. It’s a hard life and hard still after you get out of jail unless you are well connected beforehand. No job, no one to fall upon, completely out of sync with the world and its ways. Personally, It might feel that death is better (subjective).
UImagine that you are a 19 year old girl. Most 19 year olds are not financially stable to be on their own.Your dad puts up a condition. File the case or leave your home. What do you do?
Obviously this is just mere speculation but you get the idea. No matter how strong the bond, if you are not independent financially, you do not have much choice.
UBy your logic, anything can be anything. And anticipatory bail shouldn’t exist.I just meant that it is a possibility.
NAL.
