If you don't believe in the death penalty, this should change your mind.

If they are to do something that currently meets the requirements of the death penalty, what good is it to keep them alive locked up?

 

To run about ten more appeals to make sure that they really do meet the requirments for the death penalty. Thing is unlike prison death is guaranteed permanent. You can't say 'Whoops, we fuck eed up, lets revive him'.

 

How many guilty go free because of this? I'd say it's a hell of a lot higher than the amount of innocents.

 

Thats the way it should be. Innocent until proven guilty. I'd expect that it is indeed the case that there are many more guilty going free than innocents being executed and if that wasn't the case I'd be very worried about that country.

 

So you think we should pride ourselves on having a lousy legal system and allowing many guilty criminals being released back into society?
