Korinnesta:. Life is sacred and it must be held as a Gift from God.When a judge passes a death sentence he feels sad because his sentence terminates a person life which he cannot bring back to life.To show his sadness during the judgement he has to destroy the pen he uses to sign the judgement as a mark of respect for the sanctity of life. |

1. The practice is symbolic of the belief that a pen which is used to take away a person’s life should not be used ever again for other purposes. In other words, the pen has ‘tasted blood’, and thus it needs to be broken so that it doesn’t take another life. 2. Also, after the judge passes the death sentence, he has no power to review or revoke his order. So once the sentence has been awarded and the judge’s signature inked, the nib is also broken, symbolic of the fact that the judge cannot cancel or rewrite the judgement if he/she has a change of heart or mind. 3. Some are also of the belief that judges simply do away with the ‘tainted’ pen (having ordered the death of a person) as a way of distancing himself/herself from the judgement and the guilt of the same.

It is a very hard and strong decision taking by each judge to pass dead sentences to an individual, they are human like us, so they have feelings too. God help them |

It's because the pen has given a death sentence.No human has the right to take a life ,so the judge is indirectly saying he is not the one that pass the verdict but because he is in the line of duty the pen has pass the worst judgement so far so it should not be used for any other person,so I heard but I don't know how true it is.The practice is symbolic of the belief that a pen which is used to take away a person’s life should not be used ever again for other purposes. In other words, the pen has ‘tasted blood’, and thus it needs to be broken so that it doesn’t take another life. 2.
