Life Without Parole

Less than 3% of those who were sentenced to life without parole and after serving serious time and released were re-arrested, and rarely has it been because of actual crime, it is usually a technicality.

Imagine making a terrible mistake at 17, and then at 40, or 50, that dumb teenager seems like another person entirely.


By a “terrible mistake” you mean murdering someone?

That sort of error in judgement?

Shame on us for not being more understanding, huh?
 
This argument is far too nuanced for you to understand.

Sorry bout that.
I understand you perfectly

You care more about the criminals than the people they murdered

In fact you overlook the victims entirely
 
Not so nuanced for the dead person or the family left behind.

For them it's pretty clear fucking cut.
But often times people are convicted of murder when they don't pull the trigger and were in the company of those who did, and other times, murder was not intended at all but it happened anyway.

Again, this is too nuanced an argument for you to understand, that is pretty clear fucking cut too.

You are better understanding this than Mac-7 though.

If they were involved in the overall crime that led to the murder, they are equally guilty under the law.

As for not intending to do it, too fucking bad. When you go out to commit a crime using potential deadly force as a method, you own it.

Stop with the "nuanced" crap. That's just a tool idiots use to make themselves seem smarter than they actually are.

Well, maybe I was wrong about you.

OK, I admit it, I was wrong. You and Mac are equals.

You ought to have more sympathy for the people who were murdered
 
One is too many.
How many convicted and sentenced to life were released on evidence of not guilty?

There have been several cases where individuals who were convicted and sentenced to life were later exonerated due to evidence of their innocence. Here are a few notable examples:

  1. Glynn Simmons: He spent 48 years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit. Simmons was convicted and sentenced to death, which was later reduced to life imprisonment. In July 2023, he was released and exonerated in September1.
  2. Walter McMillian: He spent six years on death row in Alabama for a crime he did not commit. His conviction was overturned in 1993 after prosecutors agreed that the case had been mishandled2.
  3. Maurice Hastings: After spending more than 38 years behind bars for a 1983 murder he did not commit, Hastings was declared innocent in Los Angeles. Long-untested DNA evidence pointed to a different suspect, leading to his release3.
These cases highlight the importance of ongoing efforts to ensure justice and prevent wrongful convictions. It’s crucial to continue examining evidence and reevaluating cases to prevent miscarriages of justice4.
