the death penalty is a thing of the past. Like the guy on CNN said, it's from medieval times and it's time the United States caught up to the rest of the world.
Try telling that to someone whose loved one has been murdered, especially if it is a child. Are there innocent people in prison? As big as the population is I would say yes. Are there inoccent men on death row? Probably yes. I don't dispute that fact.
If some sick ba$tard molested and killed my child or murdered a family member or wife, was convicted then was set free by some lame governor I would hunt that SOB down and kill him myself.
Caught up to the rest of the world? Like whom? Iran, Iraq or Africa? OK..I see we should stone them to death rather than an injection.
