There were a total of 37 convicts executed in the U.S. in 2008, 18 of them in Texas, not a hundred.
It is virtually impossible for a normal human being to have zero doubt about guilt in the vast majority of cases. Your bar is unreasonably high.
Capital punishment isn’t about “feel good” or feeling bad. It’s a penalty for certain crimes. Let’s leave the “feel good” to the liberals.
The french govt lawyers have a “money incentive”. They get paid a salary.
On your point 2. It is almost impossible to tell if a person will be a “continuing threat to society” or not. We must go on what they have done, not on wishful thinking about what they are going to do in the future.
Who do you plan on using to prosecute people for criminal behavior? The neighbors?
Other than that, France is a fairly big place and they seem to get by without District Attorneys.
Again there are too many horror stories out there. Mike Nifong would have executed several of those Duke Lacrosse players; Janet Reno would have executed several innocents given the chance and in fact they told Bobby Fijnje's parents he'd be dead from AIDS in two years unless he copped the plea being offered. Fijnje was saved by heroic lawyering and the financial resources of a large church; Grant Snowden was blasted out of a Flori-duh prison by a federal appeals court after sitting there for 13 years for crimes which never happened, much less which he was innocent of; Frank Fuster is still sitting in such a prison for more imaginary crap. You've got the Indiana case (Camm) in which a man has been convicted of murder twice despite a totally airtight alibi and both convictions tossed by the Ind. supreme court and lunatic DAs wanting to try the guy a third time as if the fifth amendment didn't exist, we've had a national political leader (Tom DeLay) taken out of politics through the flagrant abuse of proprietorial powers.....
Like I say, I'd like to see the job of DA abolished.
You'd still have people being paid under the system I'd like to see; they simply would be paid for determining facts, as opposed to being paid for trying to put people in prison whatever the facts might be. I'd view that as an improvement...
