Thank You.
Those people holding signs (post 61) need to be sent the bill for this criminal’s time in prison. Let them have no option to refuse it. Let them put their money where their mouth is.
“... a felony for prosecutors who withhold exculpatory evidence.”
NOPE. NOPE. AND NOPE.
You make that a CAPITAL offense, or don’t even bother coming down off the porch.
If the Prosecutor knows his ass is grass if he’s caught faking ANYTHING, phony convictions will fall to as near zero is as humanly possible. ANYTHING short of DEATH, and there’ll still be dogs dressed as Prosecutors who’ll take the risk just to get somebody killed.
“... throughout America we call this JUSTICE ?”
NOT I, said the cat.
Whenever the topic comes up, I tell people what we’ve got is a “LEGAL system”; NOT a “Justice system.”
You do realize prosecutors are not even jailed today, much less given a death sentence. No one is going to write that law.
This guy converted to Orthodox Christianity and was tonsured as an Orthodox monk prior to his execution.
Yes. Yes, I do. They have nearly kingly autonomy both before the bench and in the hallways of the courthouse. I have had prosecuting attorneys level threats upon my estate for which I should likely have knocked them un-f’king-conscious but that the Bailiff was nearby. One, in particular, I should have hurled through a second floor plate glass window for his temerity.
They are a lot of bastard swine to the very last soul; a blight and a scourge upon the machinations of justice.
With DNA testing why so long? a week at best and throw the switch
They are still pretty good at the art of proper hanging in Singapore because, perhaps, they get to practice the craft regularly. I am sure they would be willing to train us.
There are some men on California’s Death Row at San Quentin who were sentenced in the early 1980’s and their appeals are still not exhausted. In fact, they’re no closer to an execution date than when they arrived. They will almost certainly die of old age in prison.
A few years ago a maniac in China knifed a bunch of little schoolchildren to death. He was caught at the scene. Tried, convicted, appeals heard, and then executed within 30 days.
There are some things that China does right.
“I’m willing to live with an imperfect justice system...because the only alternative is *no* justice system.”
Amen and hallelujah! It isn’t “just” for 99 evil men to live out their lives because MAYBE 1% (and probably less) are wrongly convicted of terrible crimes. And they don’t give out death penalties for free....
I’ve heard it said that if you want to have the best chance of living for another 30 or 40 years, you should get yourself onto Death Row in certain states.
Demon Spawn.
500 years ago he would have qickly been put to the gallows, a sword, or a pyre.
