the death penalty bothers me in many ways...
that said... i still believe that if there is no doubt... and i dont mean that a jury of so called peers decided or that someone confessed after grueling interrogation or that it is most likely that it happened... i mean if without a shadow of a doubt that a person committed a heinous crime that we should practice the death penalty....
i actually would like to see the family or friends of the victim get to decide the punishment... and even carry it out if there is no way that the person could be innocent...
our judicial system is so broken that the way we stand now there should be a review of all the cases that are awaiting execution... if there could be doubt then they need to be commuted to life.. if there is none then the execution should be immediate... none of this waiting 10 to 20 years for appeals and such...
yeah... let me be the decider... i know everything... i could fix it all... king blass to the forefront! (yes.. that was jest... i hate the thought of any one person deciding to kill someone... or twelve persons.... just because of a good legal team convinced them!)
