There are numerous cases where the convicted have been found innocent 10-20 years later after the incident. After you are released you are just thrown back into the world with no type of direction and countless years spent isolated from the world.What if this is the case with those sentenced to death? A person will be killed based on the "evidence" presented in court while the person who is truly guilty will be roaming around freely. I am not saying that the justice system is not doing their job but one little aspect missed can revolve the whole direction of a case. Like I said before no one is perfect.
Today in the U.S. 34 of the 50 states still allow the death penalty. Those states include :
- Alabama
- Arizona
- Arkansas
- California
- Colorado
- Connecticut
- Delaware
- Florida
- Georgia
- Idaho
- Indiana
- Kansas
- Kentucky
- Louisiana
- Maryland
- Mississippi
- Missouri
- Montana
- Nebraska
- Nevada
- New Hampshire
- North Carolina
- Ohio
- Oklahoma
- Oregon
- Pennsylvania
- South Carolina
- South Dakota
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Utah
- Virginia
- Washington
- Wyoming
I wonder how many imperfect government officials, politicians, lawyers, judges, and police officers reside in these states?
I believe in the Death penalty but to only the most extreme cases. For example Marilyn Manson who manipulated a group of his followers to kill a woman who was pregnant, her husband and their friends. I do believe one less person to worry about. This case was without a reasonable doubt.
ReplyDeleteBy the way nice idea of adding the list of states that have the death penalty.
