No, actually the burden of proof in any death penalty cases is set at "beyond a reasonable doubt". If that standard had been applied here, Terri would be alive.

So, from that perspective, clearly I feel exactly the same about any death penmalty case...if there is doubt, you cannot convict. Therefore your assertion about me is false. If there is no reasonable doubt about a heinious killer or criminal, that you should convict. That is the law and it is a good one.

As rtegards life in geenral, my feeling is that innocent life must be preserved at all costs. Terri was innocent, the unborn are innocent.

I wonder why certain people refuse to grant reasonable doubt in the case of murdering Terri?
