Burn-E Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Man I grew up 10 miles from there. But where we lived in Delaware was a very upper middle class area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piston Slapper Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I'm all for capital punishment, I don't think there should be such a thing as a life sentence. If they've done something heinous enough they can never be released, we should just put them in front of a firing squad after they've exhausted their appeals and whatnot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudge_Brownie Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I'm all for capital punishment, I don't think there should be such a thing as a life sentence. If they've done something heinous enough they can never be released, we should just put them in front of a firing squad after they've exhausted their appeals and whatnot.You're phrasing that under the assumption that we know they did it, maybe by their own admission and quality video evidence. But in situations that we don't have evidence of that certainty, and the accused strongly denies the act, do you still think so? Even if there's a chance (however small it might be) they were wrongly convicted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeyman Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 ^ That's the crux of it. How many cases have we found that the guy on death row didn't do it? Too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piston Slapper Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Yes, I was working under the assumption they'd been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, lost every appeal (including the extra evidentiary review/appeal death penalty cases have in most places), and would otherwise be in a cell until they died of old age or prison violence. It's certainly not something that should be done lightly or without damning evidence. How many cases have we found that the guy on death row didn't do it? Too many. And this is why the guy was still on death row and not dead yet, he was still in the appeals process. I also think there should be a pretty steep penalty for prosecutors who railroad people to pad their conviction rate, up to and including a manslaughter charge for proceeding with a case that leads to an innocent man getting executed.

It's certainly not something that should be done lightly or without damning evidence.But that system you described has failed before. So I think it's too bold a move to eliminate life sentences. It's easy to say "beyond a reasonable doubt", but the act of defining the line in the sand is easier said than done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piston Slapper Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Indeed it is Fudge, but I think if there's not overwhelming, irrefutable evidence (or a confession), they shouldn't be getting a full life sentence either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theForgottenone Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I'm all for death sentence if it is proven guilty with concrete evidence. The cost on tax payers for people in prison are a burden to society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattsk8 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) I'm absolutely for the death sentence in certain cases, but I've been shocked when I read or heard stories of cases with "absolute proof" being wrong before too. As far as using the death sentence to eliminate overcrowding in prisons, that wouldn't have enough effect to justify it as the means to the end. We need to reform our ridiculous "drunk" driving laws. The prisons aren't filled with rapists, murderers and pedophiles; the majority are drunks, drug addicts and dead beat parents. Just out of curiosity, who went through here with all the completely random negs?? Edited November 10, 2014 by mattsk8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn-E Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 It wasn't random nor was it a single person who negged some of the posts. Some of them are due to several people + and - against a specific post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
