Death row final statements

What do you think?

I think my problem is, i quite often forget how stupid the general population can be (not you, the defendant in the case). But in all honesty going along with a friend to perform an armed robbery without thinking the consequences and possibility of things going wrong. It is quite likely in this case it would be near impossible to find out the true course of events and don't feel a death sentence appropriate.
 
i started reading their final words then read what crime they committed, then stopped reading their final words...


Sick sick people..

PS, i would not like to work in a convenience store over there.

The kid didn't complete high school, he almost certainly had a pretty rough life up until that point and of course that doesn't excuse what he did, but it does inform us as to the why he got onto such a situation and didn't realise or consider the full consequences and import of his actions.

I feel some empathy toward him, because but for the Grace of God, I could've been him.
 
While I do think there are some people who deserve death, I think that the death penalty doesn't work. If a person commits a crime that he knows will give him the death penalty, he loses nothing by trying to go out guns blazing if he is dead either way, but has a chance to escape or take people with him. I don't know what the best punishment/deterrent is, but I just think the death penalty isn't it.

have you read what they've done, they dont deserve to live imo
 
Even the one where the forensic evidence was rubbished post execution?

even the one where he admitted to raping then killing the woman

even the one where he picked up a blackmale and dragged him to his death for being black

a lot of them would have admitted or were caught doing their crime..

obviously i dont think an indecent person should be killed
 
Can you post an example? Just interested.

It's already been posted, executed in 2004, forensic and expert testimony has since been discredited.

So what do you do about the innocent person killed?
 
Killing anyone is wrong. Having it approved by a judge doesn't make it right, it just makes it legal. There are a lot of things which are wrong with justice systems and one of them is the death penalty.

Totally agree, death penalty is barabric and never justifiable in a modern justice system. I'm glad we have got rid of it and I'm glad supporters of the death penalty seem to be a minority in the uk. Even on the gov petition website the petition for keeping it banned has more votes.

?

There was also that one late last year, entire thread on it. When the evidence was questionable at the very best, and almost certainly completely wrong and that was before he was executed.

So what do you do about the innocent person killed?

What do you about the innocent tax payer slaving daily to feed and house criminals who sit in jail reading porno mags, eating, drinking and lifting iron whilst someone somewhere (if they are lucky enough to be alive) re-lives a nightmare?

It's not really like that though is it? Only daily mail readers believe that this is the reality of the situation, and we all know how bad daily mail readers are.
