Too many innocent people have been put to death

Just out of curiosity, could name one?

I could name many because, like I said, I wrote a paper on it. There was a significant problem in Illinois- more than 100 exonerated. But like I just said, that was due to new DNA technology and it will become less likely that the innocent will be convicted. You can get DNA off of almost anything. It's only going to get better too.

I'm pro-death by the way. I just put myself in the victims family's place. If someone killed my parents or someone dear to me I'd kill them myself.

Jesus Christ.

I'm pro-death penalty, but don't toss up easy ones like that. :)

Just last week a man in Texas was released after 17 years on death row. Even the judge in the case said he it was a travesty. Don't have the guys name but it was an interview on one of the major networks I saw.

Maybe someone else remembers seeing the interview. It was in the last 10 days.
