Ping: Mas Mainam ang Habambuhay na Pagkakakulong, Reporma Kapalit Ng Death Penalty

Mas mabuting hayaang mabuhay ang isang kriminal kaysa kitilin ang buhay ng isang inosenteng tao na biktima ng maling paghatol.

Ayon kay Senador Ping Lacson, nagbago ang kanyang pananaw sa death penalty para sa mga karumal-dumal na krimen, at mas piniling isulong ang habambuhay na pagkakakulong at reporma sa pagbibigay ng parusa sa mga nagkasala.

“Mas matimbang ang ma-save ang buhay ng wrongly convicted. So nagbago ang aking pananaw, iwi-withdraw ko ang aking na-file na bill,” ani Lacson sa kanyang kauna-unahang LACSON-SOTTO media forum nitong Huwebes.

Lacson: Life Imprisonment, Penal Reforms Better Alternatives to Death Penalty

Better to spare the life of a criminal than to wrongly execute an innocent person.

On this note, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson changed his stance on the death penalty for heinous crimes, even as he pushed for life imprisonment and penal reforms as a better alternative.

“Mas matimbang ang ma-save ang buhay ng wrongly convicted. So nagbago ang aking pananaw, iwi-withdraw ko ang aking na-file na bill (It is more important to save the life of a wrongly convicted person. That said, I will withdraw the bill I filed on death penalty),” Lacson said at the first LACSON-SOTTO media forum on Thursday.
