For some. But I'm not about to assume it works for all.
Produce an innocent that has been executed in the last 50 years and we can talk about changing the system, provided that you can show the system at fault and not one bad actor sabotaging it.
I'm not aware of a concerted effort by anyone to dig up the dead to obtain DNA samples to see if innocent people were wrongfully executed. That doesn't mean that hasn't happened.
He gets off with a prison sentence from which escape, parole, a liberal judge, are all possibilities for an unfettered life. The victim will always be dead.
Escape from a maximum security prison in this day and age is extremely rare. It does happen, but not very often. The same state legislatures that can muster enough votes to pass a death penalty ought to be able find enough votes to pass life without parole. Even with the death penalty, liberal judges have plenty of oppurtunities to turn killers loose between conviction and execution.
So let me get this strait: You have no evidence whatsoever that your opinion is valid, but we should completely overhaul our criminal justice system anyway?
That doesn't mean that hasn't happened.
LOL. If you could dig up one innocent corpse you'd have a parade through the middle of Manhattan with it.
It does happen, but not very often.
Real actual, productive members of society who are dead now proves that it is more real than your mythical innocent man executed.
The same state legislatures that can muster enough votes to pass a death penalty ought to be able find enough votes to pass life without parole.
When you provide some evidence that the state is incapable of executing the guilty without executing the innocent, people will be with you. Until then, you are demanding a majority of the people to cater to your self-righteousness against their own self-interest and safety.
Even with the death penalty, liberal judges have plenty of oppurtunities to turn killers loose between conviction and execution.
Yes, but not one has ever released a killer after his execution.
