Death sentence stirs debate

TO HANG or not to hang is the question. The crime by all accounts was most heinous. And the punishment after a short trial was death by hanging. 

But the antagonists and protagonists of the death penalty have got into the act, some wanting to save the life of 42-year-old Dhananjoy Chatterjee, convicted of raping and murdering a Calcutta schoolgirl 14 years ago, while others seek his execution by hanging as provided in the law.
