Every victim that a guilty murderer killed is innocent. How many of those innocents do we have to have before those we know are guilty are executed for what they did?
How many innocent people have been convicted of capital crimes? If we know it becomes somewhat of a different matter.
No it doesn't. One of the main complaints about executions is that there is the potential of executing an innocent person. When it comes to the victims for which a guilty murderer gets the death penalty, EVERY victim was innocent. When are we going to concern ourselves with them?
Putting them in prison for life takes care of that. There is no need to allow state sponsored murder of citizens, some of who COULD be innocent. In fact, there have been quite a few death row inmates and those serving a life sentence for crimes they did not commit, who were released after DNA proved their innocence. We don't even KNOW how many people are in jail on bogus charges. The Innocence Project operates on donations only. They can only handle a minimum number of cases, but they have managed to get some people released from prison.
Until putting the guilty ones in prison brings back an innocent person, it's not good enough.
Read it please.
Scott Hornoff Rhode Island cop: framed, jailed, freed
I've read so many like that, I know the point you're trying to make. I address those situations where there is absolutely no doubt the person accused of it did it. Take Susan Smith of Union, SC. She drove her car into a lake while her two kids were strapped in seatbelts in the back seat. They both died a horrible death. There was absolutely no doubt she was guilty. Why wasn't she given the death penalty? The answer is because she is female. A male doing the same thing would have received it.
