DEATH PENALTY

[Duchess]

I have mixed feelings about it because mistakes are sometimes made and even tho those cases appear to be few and far between they have still killed someone who is innocent of the crime they are put to death for. I'm not so sure it's a deterrent either. Anyway, this guy is deserving of it. His baby wouldn't stop crying so he bent her in half, broke her spine and killed her.

This is why people are on death row for years.    The forefathers of the justice system knew mistakes might be made,  and give the convicted every opportunity to prove their innocence.   

Aappeals on top of appeals.   

I have a cousin,  who should have been put to death 20 years ago.   He was a member of the Outlaw Biker Gang,  and actually admitted to killing several people,  just for kicks.  Yet, he still sits on death row,  filing appeals,  costing the taxpayers money,  while his state appointed lawyers argue over comma's in a deposition.

I don't have mixed feelings when it comes to those who were actually caught red handed being a monster.

You might not,  but the system itself does.   People confess to shit that they didn't do all the time.    Have you ever been interrogated?  The 'good cop, bad cop' routine results in false confessions ALL. THE.  TIME.  

We laugh about what we see on TV, but in reality, cracking under pressure is normal.

That's why I said caught red handed--where there is no room for doubt.

No, I've never been interrogated.

There is always room for doubt.    My cousin,  who admitted to killing several people,  also had iron clad alibis for each one of those deaths.    It took a jury 4 days to decide guilt.  Meh.

That's why you should never agree to be interviewed without an attorney. If you have a public defender you're screwed and will have to plea bargain.
