Here is some statistical data, one person has been executed for lying during a death penalty case. If you want the name, give me some time, i have it somewhere in my notes. The point here is that not all people are aware of death eligible offenses, and not all types of murder are eligible. In order for the death penalty to deter, all murderers must pay equally with the death penalty. When was the last time a wealthy murderer was sentenced to death? When I say wealthy I am referring to 100,000+. I do not argue that murderers deserve the death penalty. But, what involves one class should involve other classes. Although much has been done and I am sure much will be done to deal with the issues of racism in death penalty cases, I see no way to resolve class issues. As for my bleeding heart, I never once said that I am against the death penalty. You assumed. As for my spelling, I'm not accustomed to using a spellchecker, and sometimes get a little carried away.

That's not a statistic, that's a sentence. We can make 'em too.

All I can say is that the man who shot me and murdered two people in the same criminal transaction can never kill again thanks to the Texas death chamber.

But don't worry to much: He was a middle-aged white male with assets of more than $500K.

Whenever somebody brings up the subject of racism in death penalty cases, it makes me wonder why it seems that almost every time an execution is carried out, the condemmed is a white person.
