A man is convicted of a murder that took place 30 or 40 years ago. Since then, he's changed his life around and is one of the top community role models and citizens. Should he still get a harsh punishment? A light punishment? Any time at all?

I disagree. Who did he kill, why did he kill. I know first hand about murder, three of my relatives committed this act. Two where in self-defense and the other was by a young reckless man that lived in poverty. His murder was based on killing another young reckless man that had also killed anther young reckless man. I agree taking away every thing a person has and will ever have, is a cool act. But be killed or killed is another thing. The strange thing about a person that commits the act of murder, is it stays with them, it's a wart that never disappears. A living hell. But for a person to live with this shame and have the will to turn their life around in a postive matter, and are truly sorry what can be done to bring back the person they murdered. Especially, if it happen 30-40 years ago. Which we are to assume to say the person had to be around 18-25 years old. Thus, if you do the crime, you do the time. Let the man be judge by his peers, and if your permise is, he's a new man, which prison was suppose to be use for towards rehabilitation and repentances. There's nothing that can do to accomplish that task. It would become counter productive to make him relive that act, after he's done so much to remove hisself from that state of consciousness. Any thing more then probation, would be cruel and unnecessray punishment.

In the Holy Bible, it tells the tale of Moses receiving the ten commandments from God at the summit of Mount Sinai. One of those commandments, was “thou shalt not murder.”

Now, what does that have to do with this question? Everything. Murder is the most heinous crime that a human being can commit – forcefully ending the life of another person is just barbaric, callous, and inhumane.

Irrespective of when the murder took place, and how noble the person may of become within society, that person is still, in my opinion, subject to the full extent of the law. It doesn’t matter if it’s the priest of your local church or Pope Benedict himself, if you murder someone, you should be promptly punished.

Now yes, an event from 30-40 years ago can be viewed by some as too long ago to instil any effective punishment, but the families of the victim have been punished ever since their loved one was taken from them so brutally.

I don’t think it matters how much a person has changed their life around, or how big a role model the person is within the community. If they were that committed to changing their life around, they’d of come forward and admitted to the murder all those years ago and not let it dwindle out so far. That’s the perfect example of a role model – a person who knows they’ve done wrong, admitted it, paid for their actions, and then do everything in their power to prevent other people from committing the same crime that they have.

In conclusion, my stance is that yes, the person should still receive a harsh punishment, doesn’t matter if it occurred yesterday or 50 years ago, the time should fit the crime.

This is a good topic and a good question. Basically, a man is convicted of murder 30-40 later and since the murder, he has changed his life around and has become a model citizen. Should he receive a harsh, a light, or no sentence at all? IMO, while the man has changed his life around and has become a model citizen, in the end, he still murdered another person. He took a person’s life away in the worst way possible. He took a poor family’s loved one’s life and they can never get that back. Murder is one of the worst and most brutal crimes that you can commit in life. And when you commit Murder, you should be punished to the fullest. He should have known that he committed this crime and that this crime was going to bite him in the ass someday. Now, I give him credit for changing his life around and by becoming a model citizen. He was trying to make up for his mistake but he still knew that he was wrong and that one day he was going to get convicted for this crime. But because he has changed his life around and like in most other cases, he will get some support for a lighter sentence from his loved ones and maybe even from family that lost their loved one. But still, you can never have a lighter sentence for Murder. If you did, it’s a big screw you to the families that lost their love ones to this brutal crime. It’s basically a slap in the face of those families that lost loved ones. This family that lost their loved one to this man should finally receive the justice that they have waited for a long, long time and he should be punished to the fullest. This is my opinion and you will either agree or disagree with me.
