I don’t want any innocent person to be wrongly convicted, arrested, and certainly don’t want to see them executed. But look at the Christa Pike case. No doubt she’s guilty. She bragged about the killing and took a piece of the victim’s skull to school with her the next day. Been on death row 30 years! She should have been executed about 29 years ago.

Sounds like the State really pulled off a complete cluster-shag on that deal.

For sure! I’d like to know the real reason for what happened.

Not sure how we as society became so soft on crime. While I”ll agree crimes committed prior to DNA may need further investigation for execution. People need to be prosecuted to protect the general public. Too many instances where perpetrators get released and commit further heinous crimes. Publicly show an execution? No value. To read victims and their families accounts of these crimes and what they expect is more proof than my opinion on this matter. Walk a mile in another’s shoes before judgement.

Drown him in bacon grease. Aloha snackbar. Televised or not, don't care. Im all for public hangings and making them a bit quicker after the verdict is handed down.

Don't mistake soft on crime for due process. When it comes to executing someone for a crime, you don't get another chance to get it right.

What penalty should a shit bag defense attorney get for defending a child rapist or a murderer.

Really? So you are entitled to a trial with a jury your peers, but not legal representation?

The prosecutor is charged with proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Like it or not, defense attorneys play a valuable role in ensuring that burden is met. Yes, they are the most heinous of crimes. But there is this thing called civil rights. It’s kind of important…

George Carlin literally had a bit that they’d eventually perform public executions to distract the masses from thinking about how bad they’re being f*cked.

We have arrived at that prophesy.

I am pro death penalty when justified generally, but my opinion that televising such a thing is abhorrent is unrelated to my death penalty perspective. Uncle Screwtape wins. The Devil plies his trade.
