Yea the BET documentary is the one to go by LOL. The man did it, this is the fact of the matter. His trail was fair, and his appeals do not even claim he is innocent, his appeals only claim he is a reformmed man, which true or not is irrelivant to the fact whether he did the crime.
I wouldnt go so far as to say no 2nd trails, but 26 years is way too long. This is how a death penalty system would work in my world. Have a first trial, jury recomends death. Then appeal that as is done now. If appeal fails, another trial happens, this 2nd trial cannot over ride the guilty verdict of the first, but can, if decided, use the remaining doubt in sentencing. They then either receocoment death, or give it back to life without parole. If life without parole , then it would be made as if he only had one trail, and he would get the appeals availible to him a normal lifer would get. If re sentenced to death, then it would be final, he would be taken out and shot.
The system today is made very slow. I beleive in making sure 100% we kill the right guy, but I think its possible to do that in less than 26 years. California has sentenced over 650 people to death , and weve executed 8, thats not justice.
I dont see the death penalty as a punishment, although it is. I see it as taking out the garbage. Why should i pay to give free room and board to a murderer? I do not beleive in Life in Prison. Prisoners should be seperated into two groups, one group that is beyond rehibilitation, you take them out side and shoot them. The other group you work as hard to make them into good people, you give them skills, you give them an education, and teach them resposibility, so they can be productive members of society. It would save money, it would save lives, and it would give people who deserve it, a second chance. For every person we waste resources keeping for life behind bars, we could have given a college education to 100. Think about that.
