Death Penalty.

- Start date
I would vote in favour of it in a referendum but I am not standing on a soap box demanding it. I am also not upset when one is executed or even botched.
I reconcile that with the fact that I am not the one killing them.

They could always make this a manditory test before killing them. There must be conclusive DNA test positive BEFORE they put a convict to death.
I do nothing. Again, it's not me. I find it a very convenient position.
But if I were the one making the legislation, I would not have the death penalty automatic. A second trial with judges not jury and the prosecution would need to justify why they want it. I would also be reluctant to enforce it without DNA evidence on the plus side. But I am not a legislator nor have I played one on TV. I did not even stay at a Holiday Inn express last night.
No revenge, take a life, then serve life.
Malicious, what about those that beat or starve a child to death- 10 maybe 15 years. Life in prison.
Yes they will rot and that is not revenge, they were not murdered now were they.
And what if the evidence was planted as Mark Fuhrmann admitted to doing in many cases during the OJ trial?
Did mark Fuhrman admit to planting evidence, or are you blowing smoke again?....link?
If you plant evidence resulting in the death of somebody, you are (or should be) guilty of murder and suffer whatever punishment is on the books for murder.
I would extend that to prosecutorial misconduct and judges who knowingly allow suppression of exculpatory evidence or to deny the discussion of manufactured or planted evidence in court. All shielding laws which protect police, prosecutors, and judges under these circumstances need to be wiped off the books.
DNA does not always tell the truth. While the samples match, it is also evidence provided by witnesses. Often enough, to be more than credible, people have been cleared years later when it was found the Police tampered with witnesses, the Prosecutor withheld documents.
Yep- the DNA was on the victim.
Like I says it ain't always telling you if the person committed murder.
If I recall correctly the French have a perjury law- If you lie in a case where a person could be sentenced to life, if you are convicted of perjury, that sentence applies to your case.
Same if it was a max of 10.
For those support the DP, would you also support the following. Come on now, show the strength of your convictions.
So for Prosecutors and Police that tamper and deliberately skirt the law and the intent of the Law that results in a DP conviction. Regardless of whether the execution takes place, should they also be tried with the DP, the only option aside from innocent?
.
They are complicit and send a person, deliberately, no different that one that shoots someone, ceptin they had time to plan to send a person to die.
Yep- Automatic DP if convicted.
Of course those that support the DP would have to agree with this now, wouldn't you?

Why don't you simply say, Goober, that capital punishment is barbaric, like games in the Roman
Colosseum.

Well, if you're a Jeebus follower, this world is a vale of tears and the hereafter is all cuddly bunnies and chillin' with Gawd. So actually we're doing the condemned a favour.
