We have to be equal on giving punishments.

# data[].attributes.body
Of course, it must be done fairly as even if the convict is disabled, the person is still subjected to face the consequences of their crime committed and laws broken. However, in cases where the convict is someone who has certain mental illnesses and disabilities which may confuse them from what is right and what is wrong, I feel that it is only fair that the government should at least sit down and understand the convict's reason or the cause of them committing the crime in the first place. It depends really and the severity of the punishments depends on the severe consequences of the crime and why.

the penalty is too harsh. I would rather that they have a life time imprisonment

if someone is disabled in terms of there physical ability and not their mental state .eg someone who is wheel chair bounded .i believe that they are more than capable to commit a wrong act

Why is a disability of concern when someone needs to be sentenced according to the crime/law?

# data[].attributes.body
Could there be a comparable harsh punishment for those who are disabled, instead of death?

# data[].attributes.headline
yes it should apply to disabled people as well. the death penalty should apply to everyone regardless of disability to ensure equal punishment is given to all.

a crime is still a crime.It doesn`t mean that they are disable we should feel sympathy for them to not deserve their punishment.If the person dare to do it,the person should also be daring enough to face its consequences

Death penalty is harsh. I would rather they have a life time imprisonment sentence than death penalty. This would make them reflect on their actions and might turn over a new leaf

Yes the death penalty should apply to disabled people regardless of their disabilities. They should be held responsible for their crimes. Why the exemption when they are also able to commit a crime like others with no disabilities?

Being disabled is not an excuse to get away from receiving death penalty for the mistake that has been done

even though they are disabled, whatever they do against the law still need to be punish to be fair with everyone

It should not be because their mental capacity to make sound decisions is not there

should be given a punishment depending on the unstability of his/her emotions like Psychotic people

Death penalty should not be given to people who are mental condition. As the crime they did even they themselves would not know they did it

If they are capable to commit a crime that leads to the consequence of the death penalty, their disability should not pose an excuse to reduce the punishment that they have obtained initially

However being mentally disabled is the only exception as it affects one's judgement and thus in my opinion i feel they should not be convicted of the death penalty

They are already in pain, why suffer more? They can barely survive and it is probably a difficulty in committing crimes

# data[].attributes.body
people with disability does not mean they can do whatever they want

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that it depends on the severity of the disability. There are many who may be mentally or physically challenged, but they are fully aware of their actions and thoughts. In such cases, these individuals can be tried according to the law.

# data[].attributes.body
it depends

# data[].attributes.body
depending on the situation whether the case is serious or not

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, death penalty should be applied to disable people. If they commit a serious murder = death penalty. No excuses mannn. No matter what mental illness they have, it still applies to them as they commited a crime.  If they're capable of doing the wrong things, they're not entirely disabled then.

However, it also depends on what  type of sickness they have. Lifetime imprisonment/ mental hospital can be an option as well.

define disabled

# data[].attributes.body
Although they are disabled, it does not mean that they are allowed to avoid the death penalty just because of their disability. However, we must also look at how serious the crime is and lessen the penalty depending on the situation that they are in.

yes.being disabled is not an excuse.As long as they are aware that what they've done is incorrect.
