Innocent man to be executed

[Pseudonym Number 1]

For a crime he didn't commit.

Shocking stuff if true, and reason enough to never bring back the death penalty over here.

Looks guilty !

 

[feynman]

Hmmmm. Not and can't make a decision from a daily mail article! However seems there are some discrepancies to say the least!

 

[Butcher's Coat]

Bring it back I say.
The likes of Levi Bellfield and those two who killed Lee Rigby for a start.

If a right wing paper like the Daily Mail makes it look obvious, a group of people did it, then it's probably more or less certain that poor bloke didn't do it. He was just a black ex-convict in the wrong place at the wrong time, & the Amurican judicial system will not admit to ingrained racism. To Kill A Mockingbird right before us

And of course just for balance the Mccanns roam free

Interesting programme about a murder in Mansfield on to last night. The cadaver dogs smelt the grave after 15 years.

I need to find the link to my massive explanation of why it won't prevent things like that happening again, and why it's not a deterrent, as I'm sick of writing it out every bloody time someone says bring back the death penalty

His conviction looks suspect to say the least.

And there are people that would have CP back over here and without the appeals process to "save money".

Beggars belief.

I didn't think people would need a written explanation, it's fairly obvious that it isn't a deterrent.

Given that every system of administering justice has some form of error, how many truly guilty people need to die to make one truly innocent person's death acceptable?

I've never understood people who think you should commit an abhorrent crime in order to punish or deter the same abhorrent crime.

In the case such as the OP I would have doubts, but those that openly admit murder or are 100% guilty, just get shot of the fuckers.

Because by commuting their crime they basically give up their human rights, and are absolutely no good at all to the human race.

Are you aware of the concept of Martyring someone?

 

[Kevin Arnott's right boot]

What about keeping somebody locked up against their will?

 

[TheWanderer]

Are you aware of the concept of Martyring someone?

And your point being?

 

[Keawyeds]

And your point being?

It would encourage others to take up the cause and perform similar or worse atrocities.

 

[dangermows]

Should never ever be brought back. What we should have though are tougher prisons for those who have committed horrendous crimes, as death would be an easy way out for them.

The death sentence would not be a deterrent or prevent any of the crimes being committed.

It would encourage others to take up the cause and perform similar or worse atrocities.

Stop talking sense on here man.
