Texas Inmates Likely to Be Exonerated After Committee Discovers Wrongful Convictions

Re: Texas Inmates Likely to Be Exonerated After Committee Discovers Wrongful Convicti

To that, I reply, name one executed innocent person who has killed again. LOL. I throw out this little joke to laugh at the straw man you built here.

You figure out a way to abolish heinous crimes and I'd love for the death penalty to be abolished.
 
Re: Texas Inmates Likely to Be Exonerated After Committee Discovers Wrongful Convicti

Except he never killed a man after he was executed. One person requested an example of someone who murdered after being wronfully executed and one requested an example of someone who killed after they were rightfully executed. Neither is possible so they both still have '0' points. You have '-1' for your pathetic reading comprehension. Did you even break '400' on the SAT?

I am the one who made the statement "Name one who has killed after being wrongfully executed". Sarcasm sure flies over your head, doesn't it?

You can play all the games you want. You've been proven wrong TWICE now. Have the courtesy to lose gracefully.

Look. If the death penalty was foolproof, I would be the very first in line, volunteering to throw the switch. But it's not, and that is the problem.

I realized it was sarcasm. Except no one can name someone who murdered another person after being executed. Are we really arguing this?

Killing a man is the same whether he comitted a crime or not. The death penalty is wrong.
 
Re: Texas Inmates Likely to Be Exonerated After Committee Discovers Wrongful Convicti

They shouldn't be confessing then.

What you don't realize is that it costs you and the taxpayers money when someone DOESN'T confess and it has to go to trial. Killing someone because they confess pretty much guarantees anyone with half a brain cell will not confess to anything meaning every single case will be a maximum cost to the taxpayer. I mean c'mon dude. If someone knows that they'll stick a needle in his arm if he confesses, why the **** would ANYONE confess?

Someone could confess to a murder they didn't commit because they are mentally retarded. Does that mean that we start filling the hypodermic needles when they start talking? Of course not. Hey look, the guy who they say killed Adam Walsh was never proven in court to have killed him. He confessed to hundreds of murders he didn't commit because he was mentally ill. To this day nobody knows who killed Adam Walsh and they CERTAINLY don't know if he was sexually assaulted because they only found his head. How can you pass the "Adam Walsh" sex offender act when there was no proof, besides the word of a mentally ill man, that Adam was sexually assaulted? Ugh, I hate John Walsh.

C'mon RWNJ, you're smarter than this.

I'm the judge of the game. How have I been proven wrong? No one has named anyone that went on to murder after they were executed.

Agreed.

The judges from Texas who setenced that man to 27 years should be spending the next 27 years in Supermax FLorence.

You're a righty and therefore not qualified to judge ANYTHING.

Thanks for playing.

And like I said before, that is just another straw man, and that is no game you believe you are judging. Just another red herring. Nobody murders after being executed, not even the innocent, and that is where your fallacy breaks down.

Re: Texas Inmates Likely to Be Exonerated After Committee Discovers Wrongful Convicti


Jesus Dan. Thats an opinion piece NOT evidence.

Here's the other opinion. And unlike you I will actually quote the story:

Willingham's last words were not "I am an innocent man." They were "I hope you rot in hell, bitch," directed toward his wife whom he had beaten many times even while she was pregnant to try to cause a miscarriage... this guy was guilty and had several appeals at the state and federal levels.

Sure got a good one to hang your hat on there Dan! LOL

Not everyone who confesses would be given the DP. Often times they get plea bargains. In cases where there is a mental handicap there should obviously be discretion with how much the person's confession is worth and I'm sure there is (in the majority of circumstances).

I'm willing to pay a bit extra if the rapists and murderers are likely to suffer. If only there was a more proof positive way. I pray there is in my life time.

It wasn't my fallacy. I was just saying the score was 0-0. "you guys are even". It was really a joke. I'm kinda confused how it turned into people trying to prove me wrong...
 
Re: Texas Inmates Likely to Be Exonerated After Committee Discovers Wrongful Convicti

People from Texas talking about competence... wow... that's rich!

More petty shots because he has nothing. Its sad but for him its commonplace.

Re: Texas Inmates Likely to Be Exonerated After Committee Discovers Wrongful Convicti

Says a conservative representative of those responsible for taking away life from the innocent. No. It's not idiotic. Those prosecutors and judges need to pay the price consequences of their bad judgement. You can call this crazy all you want. All you're doing is sheilding the guilty few from the consequences of their actions.

I say ... if you sentence an innocent man to die ... you face life without parole. You took his life ... you lose your own... so to speak. This law will make mindless, conviction rating-obsessed legal professionals think twice about going after people with only circumstantial evidence. This would also level the playing field for those poor folks who cannot afford a 600 per hour mouth piece to defend them.

It's equal justice ... that makes the prosecutors and judges think twice.

I don't like the death penalty, but this is just crazy. :shock:
 
Re: Texas Inmates Likely to Be Exonerated After Committee Discovers Wrongful Convicti

Jesus Dan. Thats an opinion piece NOT evidence.

So you are therefore claiming that an innocent man was not put to death?

I am dying to hear your answer.
 
Re: Texas Inmates Likely to Be Exonerated After Committee Discovers Wrongful Convicti

Read Ezekiel 18:23

Wait, they think "I chose to die because I want to burn the Koran"? Or "I chose to die because I feel like committing adultery"? They are victims of society who do not value life and would rather deem certain people unworthy of living because of past actions. I agree that we should punish criminals, and sick minded ilk that commit atrocious crimes deserve harsh punishments, but what is the benefit of death? Why not hard labor? Why not a life of imprisonment?


I wish to reform our justice system to protect the sanctity of life and also to bring about justice.

So they condemn themselves to die by doing the "right" thing and admit to a crime? Why should anyone confess or feel remorse for actions if they are going to be put to death anyway?

I do know that, and that is why I addressed why I believe it's wrong for our peers to put a value on life. Again, would it be okay to put a child to death for stealing bread if a jury believes that it is an appropriate punishment?

I will not respond to this.

Give me a break! Kids cannot be put to death. You really are reaching here. Keep defending these monsters as they need bleeding hearts like you around to care about them. I sure as hell don't care nor do I value the life of some sick freak who rapes and chops little kids up then eats em. You may but I do not get down like that and if I could? Would kill all these freaks myself with no payment working for the penial system needed. I would do it for free.

What about the Jury? The Governor who didn't pardon him? The deffense attorney who failed him?

No, but I can sure show you how many people have been found innocent that were sitting on death row, as well as how many were found innocent AFTER being executed.

As of March 2005, 119 innocent people have been released from death rows across the country since 1973 (Northwestern University, DP Information Center). Researchers Radelet and Bedau found 23 cases where innocent people were executed since 1900 (In Spite of Innocence, Northeastern University Press, 1992). Murder Victims' Families for Reconciliation, Inc. Out of at least 400 innocent people convicted of capital crimes they did not commit, 23 were executed. Execution of an innocent person is an injustice that cannot be rectified

The Death Penalty has been abolished in all other Western Countries and civilized societies, except the US:

Death Penalty

If you can sit here and say "I really don't give a damn that 23 innocent people were murdered by this country and 119 others were staring at the needle" then sir I have lost my respect for you as a human being.

The judge who imposed the sentence and the prosectors who sought it are responsible. Period.
