La pena de muerte se aplica en los distintos casos en forma prudente y estrictamente basada en las normas establecidas mediante un dictamen del Tribunal Supremo que dice lo siguiente: "En virtud del sistema jurídico actual que acepta la pena de muerte, ésta podrá aplicarse cuando la responsabilidad penal sea extremadamente importante y la pena capital se considere inevitable desde el punto de vista del equilibrio entre un delito y su castigo y desde el punto de vista de la prevención general de los delitos cuando se consideren distintas circunstancias tales como la naturaleza y el motivo del delito, el método aplicable, en particular la pertinacia y brutalidad del método del asesinato, la gravedad de su resultado, en particular el número de víctimas asesinadas, el sufrimiento de la familia afectada, las consecuencias sociales, la edad del inculpado, sus antecedentes penales y las circunstancias posteriores al delito".
