Amen Jim...when there is doubt, we must err on the side of life. Otherwise we are not true to ourselves as a nation, as a Republic, or as a people.

That the Justice system did not do so for Terri is a travesty and a mockery...and down right scary. Something we must fight to the hilt.

Here, Hers!!!!!

That is the most eloquent summation I have heard on the subject. Great insight.

Ditto.

Terri ran out of luck. A different draw from the 11th circuit and she'd still be alive.

God Bless her soul.

Bang a gavel, end a life, pretty cool...

Thank you - this was a most awesome statement!

[Exit148]

Well said, and to the point.

God rest her soul.

[katnip]

Good idea!

Doesn't matter what I think, Jim's always right. Hehe. Actually, I think I agree

[AQGeiger]

What I can't get over is all the FReepers I have seen disparage JimRob for his position. As if FR was their creation and not his, and should rightly be able to follow the direction he wants it to take.

I'm thinking that all the bitterness of the folks who can't take others disagreeing with them on this matter is what is making the current FReepathon progress so slowly. Well, at least it's progressing slowly in my estimation (yes, to whoever is thinking the question, I've already made my donation).

I do agree with the opinion on Terri.

[harpo11]

I second that!!

"Of course, Terri did not even receive the benefit of a trial
much less the benefit of the doubt.
She was simply snuffed out per a judge's
order based on three out of five expert "opinions."
It's a shame and a disgrace and a mockery of justice."

[B Knotts]

Excellent post.

This needs criminal investigation of the whole criminal death squad in Pinellas County. Travesty!!! Worse than commie cangaroo courts!!!

[Future Useless Eater]

My favorite part...

How about one "no" vote out of twelve and you don't execute?

The last I heard, in this country when you are on trial for your life, if there is one doubtful juror, you don't receive a death sentence. The accused receives the benefit of the doubt. Of course, Terri did not even receive the benefit of a trial much less the benefit of the doubt. She was simply snuffed out per a judge's order based on three out of five expert "opinions."

i'll chime in with an Amen! I'm still "jaw dropping" stunned at the way this ended.
