After 70 years!
-
Yesterday after 70 years that George Junius Stinney, Jr (14 years old) was executed by the electric chair, they found he was not guilty of the murder after-all! The question they should have asked then is why should he kill the two girls he barely knew just because he was black and he spoke with them for a few minutes. :(( George Stinney[^]

They probably asked that question and answered it with "because he was black". That's how things worked. Maybe it still is.

Well in Italy the culprit is - the husband/boyfriend if the victim is female - the mother if the victim is a child no other paths are ever explored, only the ones with facts that prove the suspects, leaving out any other. In a recent case, the prosecution alleged that the suspect must have had blood stains on the shoes and ordered an examination. He didn't have ANY blood trace on any shoe - so it must be him because he obviously avoided the blood on the floor :doh: . And they wanted to jail him because the house of the victim was full of fingerprints and DNA of the suspect - he was her boyfriend since YEARS. But, since the press and the TV live on the morbosity of people and continually hint at them as the culprits, the justice system follows them. It should be the opposite, but that's too much hope... Final note: Writing this I understood my police/judicial english sucks.

And the pendulum swings both ways... In the '90s, the government passed legislation saying the work force must match the ethnic diversity of the region, so, employees were instructed to fill out a survey to determine their gender and ethnic background to ensure compliance. Note: employees self volunteered information with no verification. A co-worker (female, ethic minority) identified herself as male, ethnic MAJORITY to skew the results and force the company to hire more females and more ethnic minorities. So... as a male, ethnic majority, neither of which I had any control over, I was effectively being told I could lose my job to placate political correctness...

No, it just meant you were a chump for not also lying to abuse the process.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

The UK had James Hanratty (poor sod). It's these kind of cases that convince me that a death sentence is just plain wrong.
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

Did you just compare you "potentially" losing a job to someone who had their life taken?
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet. The interesting thing about software is it can not reproduce, until it can.

No, I pointed out that wrongs occur regardless of ethnicity. There was no comparison implied.

For the US friends, I'd mention the case of Sacco and Vanzetti: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacco_and_Vanzetti[^]. For you, den2k88, I believe you mean the Chiara murder. I agree, the media often move the people's opinion toward a certain direction, but...you should bear in mind the "evidences" and the "reasonable" way. I personally don't think the murderer was an alien or someone escaped into the 5th dimension. There were other murders (Perugia, Unabomber, etc) where lots of clues were indicating "a certain person". Sounds you nice seeing those people free as anyone else? Hope you'll mean. Ciao
