Talk:Capital Offence

Any Legal Thinkers Welcome
I can see the reason for suggesting a merge - but my opinion is there is a big difference between 'offences' and the actual 'punishments'. This article is also specific to English law which was assimilated by many other nations later on, and in different forms. ROBDAV69

I'm going to change this to a redirect page. The Capital punishment article says Capital punishment, also known as the death penalty, is the execution of a convicted criminal by the state as punishment for crimes known as capital crimes or capital offences, which is pretty much the same as covered here. This article almost reads like a dictionary entry. The American spelling for Capital offense already redirects to the CP page. -- DSGruss 01:33, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
