Re: Mom and Boyfriend Charged in The Murder and Rape Of Her 14-Year-Old Adopted Daugh
That's true. My position on this is not hardened. In concept I do believe there are some people who do deserve the death sentence, in the name of 'justice,' to with finality remove them from society, and if the process could be improved, there is a decent chance I'd change my mind on the death penalty.
After all, earlier I said I likely wouldn't convict the father of one of the victims in the local case I cited if he killed a couple of the perps in court, so as a matter of principle I cannot very well oppose the state executing someone with the proper checks and balances. I've never quite understood people who would effectively wink at some of these scum getting raped/killed in prison but who are vehemently opposed to the DP.
Times are radically different than they were 40-60 years ago and I believe they could develop an 'absolute certainty' standard. Dylan Roof comes to mind. These people come to mind.
