So an innocent gets the death penalty and three years later evidence is brought forward that exonerates them. Oops? Sorry we killed your innocent family member.

Now say that guy is still in jail on a life sentence...

Sorry we imprisoned you falsely. yeah you won't get any help from the state, but here's your freedom back.

By that logic, the system should have no punishments at all as long as innocent person can receive one.


That is a leap of logic worthy of an olympic medal. Capital punishment cannot be undone. A person serving life in prison can at least be set free if found innocent. Surely you can see the difference.

Death penalty is too kind for his type. Soak him in honey and lay him on a fire ant bed.

And that's why they should be allowed one appeal. If overturned, take them out back and "get'r done


Congrats on those rules in the world of Motengator.

In the meantime, here in the real world, when you throw out the stat for cost of imprisonment the reality is with our judicial system it costs more for someone to be on death row.

I lean loft on most social issue, but Jesus Christ. Why do people feel sorry for the fricking Boston bomber? What's so wrong with the death penalty?


Here's the case of the epitome of the hypocrisy of the liberal left pussies.

They hate the death penalty ... they want to keep the bad guys alive just in case they may need to eventually set them free to do their bidding ... like the Walking Dude in The Stand. He was a left wing liberal you know.

The lefty pussies don't want to kill mass murderers .... but they love killing unborn babies or, rather, giving a hormonal bat shite crazy female the right to kill unborn babies without any rhyme or reason, in most cases.

Forget the politics of the issue .... it best illustrates the diametrically opposed philosophies of the two sides and it spotlights the hypocrisy of the left.
