No weapon, no dna, or anything besides the testimony of a handful of people. All but 1 have retracted their statements, the one guy who hasn't is his best friend whom others believe is the one who actually did it.
Was the guy guilty? Can't say, but there was some seriously reasonable doubt.
i just hope either way, justice is found for both men.
if the executed man was found not guilty through new-found evidence later down the line, I would like to see the look on the victim's family's faces and the criminal's mother's face.

Are your jails privatized? Jails run by the state dont need a profit, they only need enough to care for the inmates, pay the workers and pay for stuff like guns and repair supplies.Quote:

On the topic of capital punishment, that clown rick perry recently just bragged about his 200+ executions in texas, what a ****ing bastard. in texas they just go straight to death penalty for some shit.
This makes me very angry >:(. What goes on in the minds of the people who urged the execution to go on?
i remember reading somewhere the dead officer's wife urging the state to hurry on with the execution. she, and i suppose the rest of her family and circle of friends, and probably any of the even slightly prejudiced people in that state were all for the execution.
In the same article, it was mentioned that the courts may not have been willing to look at any new evidence, cos the case had dragged on for too long, and the victims family just wanted closure. still though, when 8 out of 9 people change their eyewitness accounts and the only one who doesnt is accused by the remaining 8 witnesses, wouldnt any person reinvestigate the case?
Without trial?Quote:

You really can't.
Considering fear:
Would the world be run by the likes of you it would be shit. I mean you really think you are up to it, but you aren't. Your ideas are frankly garbage, see above.
People who kill others, criminals, to achieve criminal goals live in worlds that are so far more dangerous than anything you could threaten them with. Chance of getting maimed, tortured and killed? Doesn't mean anything to them, that's just like going to work for them.
You do not put of people who engage habitually in extreme high risk behavior by presenting them with risks.
Those people do not rationally consider the risks anyways, or they wouldn't be criminals.
I wouldn't call that a trial, rather than just telling them that they did wrong. You can do this simply by presenting the judge with the evidence, and judge saying yes/no.Quote:

Believe it or not, there are people who want to stay in jails because they don't belong outside of the jail. I find that sad and a waste of resources. Also, the current system is a complete joke, and money should be put elsewhere rather than cutting my grants for school and putting it in jails which have no purpose what so ever on the society as a whole.
I believe that those who commit murder or kill others for absolutely no reason or for their own need think about how they will end up in jail where they will spend their whole lives in, NOT how someone will execute them. That is the problem.
Take Nuremberg Trials for example and compare them to today. To me they were completely and utterly useless for the most part. What is the point of judging someone whose crimes were public, and who killed thousands, if not millions of people. What is then the point of judging someone today, who we clearly know to be a killer?
