Prison Justice served ? ? ? return of the death sentence ? ? ?

[David Vincent]

You rambled on about accepting your fate even if you knew you were innocent, based on the facts the judge had to consider, you said you’d accept his sentence of death.


Or something along them lines, I’m still off my tits high as a kite after reading your posts.

I believe murderers deserve to be executed. That statement says nothing about how we decide if someone is guilty of murder. We will never know for certain if someone really is guilty because we don't have perfect knowledge. Sometimes innocent people will be executed because we couldn't be bothered finding an improved way of discovering guilt. But no system is ever perfect and sometimes someone will be found guilty of murder because of some freak occurrence or coincidence that defies logic or reason. It is the same with any crime. If you stopped punishing people because there is a one in a billion chance that they are innocent then no one would be found guilty of any crime.

Eye witness accounts for about 20 odd percent of all investigations and focus, yet 75% of cases based on eye witness convictions are over-turned when scientific evidence is presented.

Scientifically proven that eye-witness is 100% unreliable unless collaborated with other scientific evidence.

Whilst my numbers might be out, yours is a ridiculous statement
