But you see, most death penalty winners are black criminals, so the death penalty is racist.
So the Obola administration refused to follow the law, but DID re-write the law by dictators inside their Deep State bureaucracies. Yet another example of “dictatorship by desire” by liberals.
The Innocence Project has exonerated 165 people from death row where DNA evidence proved they were wrongfully convicted.
How many were found innocent after execution? We don’t know because the courts and police don’t look much at cases post-execution. But there are a few cases out there where serious doubt has crept up after the execution.
It’s extremely ignorant to suggest the court system doesn’t make mistakes.
Nitrogen Asphyxiation - cheep, painless, 100% effective.
Strap down the condemned, attach a brain wave monitor, put on a medical breathing mask, supply 99% Nitrogen (cheep welding gas) at 1.1 atmospheres, wait till the brain waves have been flat for 5 min.
No needles, no pain, no blood, no drugs, no chance of survival.
I agree. The pro-drug-culture leftists could not call it cruel and unusual. And what better way to show fentanol or heroin is dangerous.
Can you read English? I made a key point, that the judicial system is NOT perfect, and that mistakes DO creep in. However, they creep in at ALL levels of adjudication, not just capital crimes. Does that mean we discard every conviction, every sentence, or do we deem those errors an acceptable risk?
The Innocence Project has freed 20 people from Death Row. That doesn't necessarily mean those people were not guilty of the crime for which they were sentenced. It only means that the evidence presented that was germane to their conviction could be called into question with DNA testing post-trial. The bar is extremely high for the death penalty, and the slightest deviation can result in reversal on appeal. The defendant is accorded the most stringent protections available within a fallible judicial system. We can ask for nothing more.
To my knowledge, there is no proven example of a person wrongfully convicted being put to death.
Tennessee got 2 last year who were on DR over 30+ yrs, got 1 Thursday another 30+ yrs, next day 1 drops dead, he’d been in the Prison Infirmary, was scheduled for 3 months later, we have 2 more scheduled for this year. All at 30+ yrs. That brings TN DR to about 60 inmates, some still in State Appeals 25+ yrs later.
Excellent !!!
There are going to be lots of death penalties resulting from the treasonous domestic political espionage sanctioned by Barack Obama.
Okay, we have Fentanol and other confiscated opiates, anesthesia overdose, succinol choline, nitrogen asphyxiation and my personal favorite: carbon monoxide. They go peacefully asleep forever and leave a rosy corpse. With these readily available and painless means that do not fail why are states using unreliable drugs?
Thanks Robert A Cook PE.
Or use poison See-Uh-O-2. I mean it supposedly killin’ muvver erf.
If death sentences were carried out within 10 days of conviction, and publicized; it would have a deterrent effect on capital crime.
Right now somebody who contemplates murder for any reason, under any circumstances, knows that it will be 25 to 40 years before they have to meet their executioner; if they even live that long.
They don’t fear it, because it’s to far into the future for them to think it’s real.
Criminals are not the brightest bunch in the world, and can’t manage to think much farther out than about a month or two into the future.
