Speaking of holes in logic. What if the prisoner kills a guard? What if he kills a person in jail who is innocent of murder? Is that acceptable in your eyes?
Face it. Both of us are dealing with acceptable risk. I say executing innocents is an acceptable risk and you say allowing a killer to kill again is an acceptable risk.
I'm would not exaclty phrase my side of this issue as you you have for me in the sentence above. But, without doing a rewrite, I will say you have captured the essence of our differences on this issue.
Now, may I ask, where were you last Saturday night? Can you confirm that? Were you anywhere near the 7/11 at 1 a.m.? Can your wife confirm that you were sleeping? Does she normally wake up when you get out of bed in the middle of the night? You seem to have come into some extra money, almost the exact amount taken in the 7/11 robbery in which a clerk was shot and killed. Where did you get his cash? Do you remember the name of the person that bought your lawn mower? Well, did you get his license plate number or any other contact information? No, you say you just put the riding mower out on the lawn for sale and someone came by and wanted to buy it? But you did not get his contact information? And he happened to pay you in cash? Don't you think it a bit odd someone would be carrying that much money with them and almost to the penny the amount that was stolen in the robbery and murder? Step over to the car please and look towards the rear side window. Is this the man you saw at the 7/11? It is? Okay sir, we have a witness here that says it was you that held up the 7/11 and shot the clerk. I am going to read you your rights now. And you the lady's and gentleman of the jury, how do you find in the case of AppyPappy against the people of ...?
