At least the people wrongfully convicted to life in prison have a chance (sometimes) to prove their innocence. Such an opportunity is obviously lost if one is executed. Executions are not helping to reduce false convictions. They might add a bit more media attention, but should innocent people die for that? Seems preposterous to me.
- nickff 12y agoIf what you are saying is true, why do some of the people on trial for heinous crimes push for a death penalty offense? They say that it is the only way for them to get a good attorney or an appeal, and avoid a life wasted in prison. Are they wrong?
- joesmo 12y agoWhat cases are you referring to? I've never heard anything like this. Even if such cases exist, it still doesn't justify murdering people because the state is incapable of doling out justice.
