Since I subscribe to the Non Aggression Principle -- but am not a pacifist -- if I were convicted of murder, it could mean only one of two things:

1. I was framed and did not murder anyone

2. I killed in self-defense, but the cops and the prosecutors conspired to charge me with murder.

Therefore, I would not choose death. Instead I would fight for my eventual release. I might even Call Saul to represent me in the appeal.

My first thought was death.

But if I didn't commit the crime, I'd still have hope of getting out. Even if I did commit the crime, I'd still have hope of getting out, I suppose. Or longshot at escape.

Life w/o chance of parole. I'd like to watch my kids grow, even if from within a cell.
If you murdered somebody your kids would probably rather you take death. At least when asked about you they could say my dad is dead instead of my dad is in the pen.

 
Death...I good looking and kind of a ####. My dad is also a retired police officer. I don't think I'd last a week in prison.

 
I'd go to prison and seduce the hot female guard into a threesome with the hot female warden. I'd then put them to sleep with my mad sexual skills and escape the prison by walking out the front door. I'd then escape to a non-extradition country. The bummer is I'd only have about 1/3 of my $1b fortune (that's all I have off-shore).

 
considering there's a chance of appeal, I'd rather live.

then again, a death sentence takes long enough to execute that I'd be good either way.

 
I voted life in prison, but just realized that death row inmates get a pretty nice last meal so I want to change my vote.

Sweet, I was hoping to get one today.

 
Put me to sleep like they do for an operation and then finish me off. I won't know what happened.

 
If I'm innocent and there's any chance I can prove it, I choose death because there's a better chance I'll be able to get my conviction overturned and go free.

If I'm guilty, or if there's no chance I can prove my innocence, I guess I choose life in prison so I can write about my experience and turn it into, hopefully, a screenplay for a wacky sitcom.

Guilty as charged

But damn it, it ain't right

There is someone else controlling me

Death in the air

Strapped in the electric chair

This can't be happening to me

Who made you God to say

"I'll take your life from you!"

[chorus:]

Flash before my eyes

Now it's time to die

Burning in my brain

I can feel the flames

Wait for the sign

To flick the switch of death

It's the beginning of the end

Sweat, chilling cold

As I watch death unfold

Consciousness my only friend

My fingers grip with fear

What I am doing here?

[chorus:]

Someone help me

Oh please God help me

They are trying to take it all away

I don't want to die

Time moving slowly

The minutes seem like hours

The final curtain call I see

How true is this?

Just get it over with

If this is true, just let it be

Wakened by the horrid scream

Freed from the frightening dream

[chorus:]

 
Early voting has 30 out of 57 choosing they'd rather die than life in prison. Interesting.
You didn't ask whether we'd rather die. You asked whether we'd rather be sentenced to death. Totally different because being sentenced to death may give you the better chance of going free without dying.

Hard to say how many really would opt out. I'm guessing few. I'm out, I know that for sure. #### that ####. No way I am going to prison.

I'd bet that a poll of actual inmates would be the other way by a landslide simply because they are demented and think that they should not be in prison at all.

Yeah, I'm liking this. I'm going to start sprinkling this into real life.

I must have left out the part where I meant to say, "No other details." That's my bad.
:confused: the answer might be different for many depending on whether they are innocent or guilty
That's kind of what I wanted to hear in people's answers. So far, I think everyone's answers are very informative. There's no right or wrong answer. I'm just trying to hear people's thoughts.
:eek:

You can do that?

Through the computer!!!??!!!
