Hunter: It is your perogative to disagree, but if it was your ass on the line (or in the chair) I bet you'd have a different think coming. FT

Hunter -- >>One has to remember, far, far more innocent lives have been taken by convicted murders than innocent people mistakenly executed.>> So how does this argue for the death penalty? DP is not a deterrent, never has been. A death sentence is only reasonable when there is absolutely no doubt as to the convict's guilt. None. ZILCH! Justice is imperfect, but so much of its imperfection is intentional - money/power/connections get you off, society's general bad graces gets you hung. In the Chicago area recently, three convicted "murderers" of a young girl were released - and about 7 law enforcement types are now on trial - because the law didn't work, and the lawmen intentionally fudged evidence in order to get a quick conviction. Huh-uh, you can't convince me of the "need" for a death penalty any more than you'll convince me of the "need" for a police state. In a police state, everyone's very safe, except for those who aren't.
