52 y/o Joseph Smith, the Sick Florida Freak who was on Death Row has now ESCAPED DEATH after he was sentenced to Death in 2006 but now that has been overruled by a Supreme Court because of a "loophole"

He kidnapped, raped and murdered an 11 y/o girl that was caught on surveillance video. He was 37 when he murdered 11 y/o Carlie Brucia and was sentenced to death by a jury vote of 10-2..but because the decision wasn't a "unanimous" decision as now it needs unanimous vote, he will face a new trial where he will get life or death!!

Despite the damning evidence showing him on camera grabbing the pre-teen girl by the arm and dragging her away to her death, 2 jurors voted AGAINST death

Video shows the time of abduction on Feb 1, 2004 approaching the young girl at an isolated area in a parking lot and taking her away by the wrist...day's later, her body was found on the grounds of Central Church of Christ

He was arrested and CONFESSED to the crime before the body was found as it was revealed he was an unemployed auto mechanic and a convicted drug abuser with a long record.

He has tried to appeal the sentence repeatedly but failed..until the Supreme Court ruled that an unanimous jury recommendation for death is required

Carlie's mom, Susan died exactly one year ago today who led a troubled life after her daughter's death and died of an overdose...She called him an "animal" and expressed how happy she was that he was given the death penalty.

Carlie's father, Joe, who now lives in New York said his family was robbed of justice who said the system is made for attorneys as he call this an outrage.

A New Trial will now be set with new jurors where an unanimous decision must be made..

Do you think the decision to put him to Death should have been Upheld??

Moments before Carlie was murdered -

Rapists are killed in the first couple of days whenever they enter prison over here in Venezuela. Though first they insert several objects up their rectums and then play Football (Actual football, not 'Murican Handegg) with the head.

Pretty sure nothing in bible speaking against death penalty, and jesus never said he came to bring peace, but instead a sword.

Passivistic christcucks are what ruined the institution of christianity in the west. People forgot what turn the other cheek actually means.

Not that im religious, but you cant claim to form an accurate opinion on why something is wrong without studying it first.

That goes to all of you on this board.

Exodus 20:13

that's a commandment to not commit murder (unjust killing), not a blanket statement against any kind of killing ever. it's maybe vaguely written, as so much of that book is, but the fact that the penalty for not following the "don't kill" rule is death seems to suggest it doesn't cover that.

"Thou shalt not kill" is a pretty solid blanket statement. Granted, the translation varies from version to version, and in some versions it does specify murder. Really, though, what is the death penalty if not legalized murder? The government gets to kill the person without legal consequence because the government said it's okay.

A death penalty certainly isn't in Exodus 20.

murder is unjust killing. the death penalty is just killing. (at least hypothetically. the point is that "legalized murder" is a contradiction. however any particular law that says to kill someone may or may not be moral/ethical.)

because the original hebrew is a primitive language where you don't have dozens of choices of synonyms to use to specify precisely what you mean, rather you use the same word to mean dozens of different things.

depends what "visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation" means, but otherwise do you really need me to count all the times there's a death penalty in Exodus?

Because after the first one they don't bring anything new to the table. Subsequent appeals waste a lot of money.

You either have to execute them when you're sure enough they did it directly after court, or have them serve a life sentence and not bother with the unnecessary cost of inappropriate appeals.

And who defines justice? "Legalized murder" is indeed a contradiction, which is the point. The death penalty is only "not murder" because the judiciary body - the same body that is doing the killing - says it's not. "Murder" is defined on the basis of a given society's laws, such that applying a directive that far predates the nuances of said laws has to consider more than just those modern laws.

This is why theology gets complicated. In a broader moral sense, it'd be easiest to define "murder" as "killing when killing is a greater evil than not killing." That gets even more complicated (cue abortion debates), but insofar as the death penalty is concerned, morally justifying the death penalty - which is necessary to exempt it from a label of "murder" - requires you to say that letting the person live would be a greater evil than killing them, and that's only really possible if you're unable to guarantee that society will be protected from them (read: you suck at keeping people in jail).

I trust you can back up that claim with statistics demonstrating that nobody has ever successfully appealed the death penalty after losing their first appeal?

Because the law says they aren't. Just like the death penalty. The key difference being that the judiciary body is excusing other people in those cases, as opposed to itself, so there's a little more circular logic going on with the death penalty.

Basically, it doesn't make much sense to interpret a moral reference text as saying "killing's only bad if your local laws say so," since that's just rendered redundant by those local laws.

um, no. killing is by default legal until the law says what kinds of killing are illegal. the same with any crime. if the law has to make an exception at some point, that's only to a previous law which was too broadly applicable.

it doesn't make much sense to interpret a moral reference text as saying "killing's only bad if your local laws say so," since that's just rendered redundant by those local laws.

I don't know how you got to that. "thou shall not kill" is not a blanket statement, it's a poorly specified one. for one, it's a commandment to Jews to use between themselves and does not apply to killing foreigners, for example. for two, the literal punishment for not following commandments is being stoned to death.

And then god decided to kill almost the entire planet to wash away the sin. So obviously some killing is okay.


I guess it's a good thing that never happened.

Sure, but if people want to use the bible as argument for not killing criminals then they should remember their god is a huge fan of the death penalty.


Old Testament Yahweh, not New Testament. People grow up. Sooner or later, people mature enough to realize that the death penalty is a barbaric, outdated practice with no place in a modern, civilized nation.
