We locked you up in jail for 25 years and you were innocent all along?

That’ll be £80,000* please.... WHAT do you give someone who’s been proved innocent after spending the best part of their life behind bars, wrongfully convicted of a crime they didn’t commit?[^] Well, all I can say is that this is totally outrageous. There are no words strong enough to describe it. *£80,000 = US$144,000 or €116,000

Does that mean the death penalty is wrong or that our justice system is so screwed up? For that matter let's not even have jail, because some might get locked up who was innocent. Fix the problem... Sorry over-paid lawyers, sorry judges, and stupid people on juries.

Bush gets blamed for a lot of stuff, and although I believe he supports the death penalty, I would hardly call him it's number one proponent. I presume you say this because of the number of death penalty's that were carried out in Texas during his administration. If so, I would point out that although he chose not to stop any, he did not pass any of those sentances, and all who were executed had exhausted their appeals (a process that can require 25-30 years). To blame bush for merely concurring with the original jury, and all appeals courts involved, is a bit extreme. Needless Bush-bashing methinks...(it is not as if Texas was the only state -or country- that carried out death sentances in that time frame):| Power corrupts and PowerPoint corrupts absolutely. - Vint Cerf

(rejection of Schengen, Euroland, solidarity bigger towards the US than to the other EU members, denying for years the construction of an european defence...) There's a big misunderstanding between UK and most of the other members: UK wants a free trade zone and only that, when the others, since the Rome Treaty, seek for a biggest political integration.

This is what i understand from this crap. It seems like governement have found new TaxPayers. Also i am curious who found that these people are not guilty. If it is the governement, it will makes sense for him to get a bonus for "freeing" you. But now since the people are pissed off the governement will spend less ressources in tring to find if you are innocent or not. The moral of the history: dont keep money on lawers, you will loose it anywa y X|

Maybe people who support the death penalty should go and talk to the families of those who are found to be innocent after they die ? The tigress is here :-D
