Ivan Cantu was executed 2/28/2024

[Robert W]

Ivan was unique. He never admitted he killed his cousin nor his cousins fiancee.
The Judge who sentenced him to death later changed his mind.
3 of the Jury believe he is innocent.
Do yo think Ivan deserved to die today?

Another victim of Big Government. Damn!

Another victim of Big Government. Damn!

I dunno if he's guilty or not.

But definitely one of the reasons I don't support government sanctioned killings.

Capital punishment is against Christianity. As is abortion.

I don't know about this case, but a lot of cases they just want to find someone guilty, they don't really care who.

Cantu told them he knew who killed the two victims. When he was about to be put to death, he told the victims family he had not killed the person he was charged with and that he was wrongly put to death but felt bad for the two victims.

I agree for one reason. He lost at trial.

I'm sure plenty of people who are guilty will say they're innocent.

It is very unusual for inmates about to be executed to claim they are innocent. Behind bars is a lousy place to be when facing death. I am on the fence over this guy. He might have been a lifetime criminal. He might have been guilty of other murders. I dunno.

I read much more about his case and now know why they found him guilty. But his claim it was a Drug dealer who actually killed the victims does make sense. He was engaged to marry a woman who testified against him. I see why higher courts did not keep him alive this week.

Lots of scripture calls for the death penalty.

Unless it was Cain.

The law of the Old Testament stipulated the death penalty for various crimes (murder, kidnapping, adultery, rape, etc.).

I know but that was human law.

False on one count.

The Old Testament law was manmade?
