Question

True or False. Retributivists always support a lex talionis view, and thus always will support the death penalty for murderers (as being a life for a life).

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

They not always support the death penalty for murderers because they have to have in mind the point of view of the accused, because there is a chance that it was on accident or self-defense and, in those, cases the punishment, although severe, does not have to be that extreme.
