We know from the innocence project that men are frequently sent to prison for rapes they didn't commit.
Do you also support changing accuser friendly rape laws that cause so many men to be falsely convicted of rape?
I don't know what I said to cause you to take offense? I believe there are alot of innocent people in prison. I also believe about half of all inmates could be released w/o any real "danger" to society. I also believe many that work in the Criminal Justice system should be in prison. What is it that you have a problem with?
It costs far more to execute someone than it does to imprison them for life.
Its not a deterrent, its not error-proof, its expensive, its barbaric and a waste of time and resources. Life without parole guarantees this person will never be a threat to another innocent individual and in some cases, suffer a more unpleasant fate.
In addition, I believe the only time you have the right to take a life is in defense of your own or someone else, so I am both pro-life and anti-death penalty.
The person they execute would never do a crime again, i think we need to expand into other crimes, rape, child abuse, tax evaison, more than ten items, driving with turn signal. They would never do it again.
It bothers me that murderers like the BTK killer did not get the death penalty. He bound a family. Killed the two parents in front of their two children.Killed the boy, then took the young girl strung her up and sexually molested her and then killed her.. he killed many more. He was evil.. He was a deacon in a church and committing heinous crimes against the innocents. I say kill him. He didn't repent, He was caught and would have killed more!
And you answer is to murder someone. That is revenge.
Prison is the punishment.
Not at all. Its simply a severe consequence to their action. Akin to being killed by police while committing a crime. Put yourself in that situation and it happens.
Thankfully, execution is spelled out as a punishment in the Constitution, which makes a 'cruel and unusual punishment' argument invalid.
Prison isn't the punishment for the 'Free Mumia' freaks. Not only was he not executed, some people want to free that cop-killing murderer.
