WE HAVE A WINNAH!
30 years on Death row sounds a LOT better than the alternative: execution within a year of conviction. That’s 29 extra years of life!! I’m sure that the vast majority of murdering scum when asked: would you rather be executed this year, or left on Death Row for another 30 years would choose the latter.
The reason we call them Libtards is because their idesas are retarded, after all.
Well, if you don't like circumstantial evidence, and you don't like eyewitness testimony, what WOULD cause you to condemn a man? Or are you just saying you oppose the use of the death penalty at all? Not taking any particular adversarial position on it myself, I just can't follow what you're thinking.
Physical evidence when collected properly is pretty hard to defend against. It's not complicated. I take the death penalty seriously. I support it. But when it is used, I want there to be no question whatsoever about the guilt of the man being put to death. The day we execute a man who is later found to be innocent will be a bad day for the death penalty in this country.
Oh, OK, I was lumping physical evidence with circumstantial as “non-eyewitness”. I was thinking “what’s left?”
