Life imprisonment w/o parole is not freedom and allows for the correction of the worst act the state can undertake....executing an innocent person. |

My condolences. Sorry for the loss. Truely. A bad day for our imperfect system of justice.

I didnt say you were willing to support the death of an innocent person. I said you were willing to accept the death of an innocent person. Its a fact, not my opinion. If you support the current system of capital punishment, you accept the fact that an innocent person can be executed. |

Right...its a fact, not my opinion, that you are willing to accept it.
I'm curious. If one wrongful execution is acceptable, what is the limit? What do you consider rare? How many innocent people have to die at the hands of the state execution system before it becomes unacceptable? |

Provide me with evidence that there is a huge disparity between those put to death wrongly and those who deserved it. I am certainly not going to box myself into some number game. Innocent people die all the time in many situations. I am sorry for it. It is not my place to put a limit on it. It is a very sad situation for that one person, his family and all his or her connections to the eventual death. As I stated earlier these are questions for the legal system to tackle and a moral quandry for society at large. In the meantime, I will continue to support Capital Punishment as a form of ultimate punishment. Do the time do the crime.

I never disputed the fact that it happens.

Is it more or less acceptable for a soldier to be killed in action than for an innocent person to be executed?
If you believe in one or more deities, then the chances are you believe that an executed innocent has gone to better place, and if you don't, then the chances are you believe the executed innccent no longer exists, so why do they matter any more...so what's the problem? If you reject CP on the grounds that it is irreversible and cruel, in what way to you envisage years of wrongful maximum security detention less irreversible and less cruel? Just askin'.....
