I support the death penalty - but in this case I wonder if the judge, lawyers and police should be brought up on charges

There are many cases were there exists no doubt a person committed a capital crime and should be executed - especially when video or several eye witnesses exist. Of course having an established criminal record would also be needed I think.

If we could keep these people in jail forever, I would support that as an alternative, but all to often we hear of people getting out and killing/raping again. There are far more innocent people killed this way than by accidental executions.


There is clearly no way to administer extreme justice equitably. Money can buy lots of "leniency" and sometimes outright injstice, as we may have witnessed in the OJ and Blake cases. Keeping people in prison for life is a choice easily made. Releasing a hardened criminal is a choice we meke less frequently these days, and one we can chose not to make at all.
