In recent years, however, numerous studies have found that one in seven people sent to death row are later proven innocent. And in one disturbing recent case, a prisoner was 48 hours from execution when he was proven innocent.

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

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.

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

If Blunkett was a Tory I would bet he would place a plastic bag oiver his head before his boyfriend arse fucked him. Do the Labour brigade have any of this perverted shit on the books. On Tuesday, Blunkett will fight in the Royal Courts of Justice in London for the right to charge victims of miscarriages of justice more than £3000 for every year they spent in jail while wrongly convicted. The logic is that the innocent man shouldn’t have been in prison eating free porridge and sleeping for nothing under regulation grey blankets. So can the people who were wrongly convicted and now charged board and lodging counter-sue for loss of wages? I mean this Blunkett wanker is saying that these people would have had to pay for food and housing and that is why he is charging them. But if they weren't in prison they would have had a job or at least been given unemployment benefits to achieve this. Do they get paid while in prison?

I couldn't find that number, but I would wager that there are significantly more families that have the murderer of their loved ones roaming free, than there are families who have an innocent family member executed. BW CP Member Homepages
