I know for sure that Susan Smith did what she was convicted of doing. Since you stated that unless you know for sure, it's a different matter. It became a different matter with her since we know based on your words. You and I both oppose the death penalty for those for whom we don't know. Difference is you still oppose it even when we do. Susan Smith is one example and all it takes is one refuting your statement to prove you aren't against the death penalty just in cases we aren't sure but in all cases even those where we are.
And her mental health was a mitigating factor. That is part of the law. The fact that you label all attempts to discuss mental health as "bleeding heart excuses" does not change that.
What I said about he mental health claim is that is the typical go to argument used by bleeding hearts. Since you jumped straight to it, more proof that you're a bleeding heart.
It proves nothing. You brought up a specific case. And in that case, the murderer's mental health was an issue. I didn't invent that opr bring it up except as a fact about the case you introduced into the discussion.
That example proves two things: 1) You really don't mean unless we know for sure and 2) You're a bleeding heart that jumped straight to the bleeding heart line of excuses.
LMAO!! It really is important to you that I am a bleeding heart, isn't it?
You were there for her trial. Was her mental health brought up as a mitigating factor???
It's important that you realize it.
I don't remember specific testimony as it's been 20 years. I'm sure it was and suspect it was in the sense of being an EXCUSE.
