I'm also a death penalty opponent. There are certainly some crimes that are fully deserving of death, but there are too many ways for us mere humans to make a mistake in determining guilt.

Heck, we are talking about the same justice system that let OJ walk free, right?

Of course, I support the idea of putting them in a cage where they'll never have direct human contact again so that they'll never hurt another living soul.

That would fall under cruel and unusual punishment.

Actually, the outcome of the OJ case is evidence of how biased our justice system is in favor of the defendant. The fact that OJ walked free does not support your argument that DP should be abolished because we could not determine guilt reliably.

BTW, I am also an opponent of the DP. However, I oppose the concept of death as a penalty.

Not a popular position to take around here but it's mine too.
