No, really? you? :P

I wasn't aware of doing it that often, although I do like to try and consider things from different perspectives.

I used to really like discussion papers when I was at uni for this reason.

Hey...I don't look anything like big Al.

Yeah, but the witness picked you out of the line up.

What do you want for your last meal?

cocopops

Cocopuffs./:eng trans:/

Actually I think they are more like a chocolate version of our "Corn Pops"

I'm going to try to find the time to do a stat thingie on death-worthy crimes committed per capita during the era of the guillotine, stoning, gallows, and the firing sqad as opposed to times w/out capitol punishment. You think there will be a noticeable difference?

The people who got cleared after years on DR were mainly those whose trial was pre DNA days. Now we have the ability for the prosecution to present this as evidence in the trial from jump st. The days of what the jury believes, IMO are waning. Technology has no emotion.
To get completely real... a juror would be less credible for a verdict decision than scientific fact/data any day.
I think most folks who are convicted and sentenced to the DP these days, have a minute chance of clearance...regardless of how many years. If the evidence is there, surely they'd use it. Yep. technology is fairly well making it 'cut and dried'. Methinks.:eyebrow:

You know.... COCO-PUFFS. With the brown stork looking bird with the round glasses. I must be the only old geezer on this board.......:cool:

What are you Koo-koo?

You mean these?

My bad - I stand corrected.

Forensics can be manipulated, faked, or just dumb-ass screwed up, just like any other form of evidence.

I've been in philosophy seminars where captial punishment was the topic, stats like what you want are often discussed, but it is virtually impossible to get a conclusive finding because you need two societies where all conditions are the same except for captial punishment. Capital punishment and high crime rates are correlated because capital punishment is brought in in reaction to high crime rates.

Cocoa Puffs used to be hollow. Now they're just chocolate cheetos.

Yep, different cereal. I hope the warden knows the difference!
