This is a bad thing itself, as it brings the law into contempt. The way out of this difficulty might be to institute a new verdict and in murder trials to have two possible verdiets:-
(1) Guilty of murder in the £rst degree;
(9) Guilty of murder in the second degree.
To retain the death penalty for (1) and to substitute" imprisonment for (2).
If this could be done, and the recommendations of Lord Atkins's Committee be made law, trials for murder would be brought more inte line with modern ideas and with modera conscience.
Let us look at another aspect. Imagine the prison, the night before the execution and the morning of the execution: the tremors, the horrors of all the other caged and wretched inmates.
