American "justice" maybe. No Sanhedrin would have ever put him to death. RIP Tookie - here's hoping the families of his victims find some closure with his death. But somehow, I doubt it.

The man paid the ultimate price for the ultimate crime. Justice has been served. He was guilty and had been proven so mutiple times through appeal courts, both with witness testimony and forensic evidence. Next! It’s over. The man paid the ultimate price for the ultimate crime.

Judaism REQUIRES you to kill one who is coming to kill you - this person is called a <i>rodeph</i> and not killing him or her is a sin. This is akin to self defense and no doubt justifies pre-emptive strikes against known terrorists. This sanction is carried out by the person or people involved and does not need the intervention of a Sanhedrin. As such, killing a rodeph is not considered capital punisshment.

We both know that often, the killing takes place when the individual is a "ticking" threat. We also both know that often the individual is someone who has been involved in previous attacks and will likely be involved in future attacks. What role does that play in terms of Jewish thinking about capital punishment? Is there an exception for terrorists? I dunno, ck, you and I both agree that targeted killings are well deserved.

Words like Holocaust and genocide for instance. The crimes committed by the nazis were not only witnessed by thousands but they were also extremely well documented. I have no problem with capital punishment for nazis. Michaelk: your interpretation of an eye for an eye... is a little simplistic. ie if I was negligent and caused you to lose an eye, the sanhedrin did not gouge your eye out! They made you pay the value of the eye in damages. Judaism allows for capital punishment but rarely applies it - once in seven, some say 70, years was considered too much. alexbmn: re eichmann – You know, the crimes committed during the holocaust were so unprecedented that new words had to be created to describe the extent of the evil involved.
