Let me share my logic on why my opinion has evolved on the death penalty.
In cases where the evidence is irrefutable, I support the death penalty.
Here's the problem:
In those cases, the defendant usually signs a plea deal for life. He knows he did it, he knows his goose is cooked. Taxpayers want to save money. Victims don't want to relive the tragedy in a big publicized trial.
Cases that go to trial are those where the evidence has a significant "meh" factor... some amount of doubt, not an open-and-shut case.
Juries are dumb, and lawyers are smart.
There is no doubt in my mind that innocent people are put to death by the government every year.
For that reason, I'm out.

It's good that the TPOS LINK finally got his comeuppance after committing the murder in 1993 and living some twenty four years longer than his victim did. Cases such as this take way too long before final resolution and justice delayed is justice denied.
On the spirits front I've tried Balvenie SMS and found it to be good. Or at least I think it must have been because I can't find the bottle anywhere.
On the food front I was finally able to locally sample Sonic's reinvented pancake on a stick. For some odd reason they were out of the dipping syrup but it still made for a good late night snack.
