Easily anti-death penalty. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I am also anti-life in prison without parole. I think all life sentences should have at the very least the right to go out under parole after a certain amount of time, say, 30-40 years.

Disagree on this. Someone who murdered or raped another person should not ever, ever see the light of freedom again. Taking another's life on purpose, or mentally tearing them apart with the heinous crime of rape, should be punished by the strongest means. If it's a mistake, the prisoner would be released (and should be heavily compensated).

Yeah, this is a controversial position I know, but I still think that a 70 year old is not the biggest threat to public safety and that everyone, even the most despicable members of society, still deserve a 2nd chance.

It might also be because life imprisonment is actually a hot issue here since it was reintroduced in 2015 for the first time since 1928.

Life imprisonment also defeats the argument that prison is meant as rehabilitation and not punishment.
