The fact that 4% of people on death row right now are innocent is why I'm against it. Theres also the fact that on average, it costs quite a bit more to sentence someone to death than it does to simply imprison them for life. But that there are so many innocent people condemned to death for crimes they didnt commit is certainly the bigger issue here. Please, read the transcript and then tell me that with a straight face. Im not arguing whether this specific guy deserves to be put to death. Given that 1 in 25 death row inmates are actually innocent of the crime they were sentenced for, and that it costs the taxpayers a lot more to go the death penalty route, Im arguing that its in societys best interest to forego the death penalty. Its not like life in prison is much of a life for this guy anyway. --- -The Admirable <cite>0AbsoluteZero0 posted [p:907010295] in To anyone ...
