Does Jodi Arias deserve death penalty? #tellusatoday

We asked on Twitter whether Jodi Arias, convicted last week of first-degree murder in Arizona, should get the death penalty. Comments are edited for clarity and grammar:

Yep. Death penalty is justified in cases of premeditated murder and random/spree killers. An eye for an eye.

— @DukeSucks_

No, because that's what she supposedly wants. Let her suffer in jail with a life sentence and no chance for parole.

— @conpoli

Why not? If she stays in jail, we're paying for her to be housed.

— @harrisonmanlove

The death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment and so unconstitutional.

— @LadyBugz528

The death penalty is only cruel and unusual when used against people who don't deserve punishment. Arias deserves it.

— @S0_Fashi0nable

Death sentence is truly justified. In a struggling economy like this, feeding a criminal for life seems so senseless.

— @TjioeLiesar

People should realize that the death of anything is not a relief but a wall to the evolution of the human race.

— @JoshuaSean2

Death penalty. Yes. Ask the family of a murdered person.
