popsjumper 2 #6 January 5, 2011 " Since 2001, Texas has exonerated 41 innocent prisoners because of DNA, the most in the nation." Doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in the judicial system.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

wmw999 2,603 #7 January 5, 2011 Something to consider is that Dallas has had a conviction integrity unit, specifically designed to make sure that convictions are valid. A new DA formed it in 2007 because Dallas at that time had the highest exoneration rate in the state (not necessarily a good thing). Police departments are judged by catches and convictions. No one really gives a shit at the time if they're rightful, especially if there's the emotionally satisfying moment of the eyewitness, on the stand, saying "yup, that's the guy who did it." Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

Guess we can't expect much else from you either, since you comment on this, yet make absolutely no comment on the subject...... Clearly this is an indication that more people need to be put to death and sooner too. That way no money gets wasted on appeals, further research or anything like that. Just call them guilty and kill them.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 906 #10 January 5, 2011 Well the guy WAS accused of hitting his wife! sheesh! Seems the death penalty supporters don't care about the details. At least with those that "needed killin". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,603 #16 January 5, 2011 I'm not talking about internally -- I'm talking about the court of public opinion; the general public wants bad guys caught and taken off the streets. Most of the police officers I know (hi AD) are really great people. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

Unlike the 150 death warrants George Bush never lost any sleep over because he "knew" they were all guilty. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Or did you jus feel like you had to find a reason to bash Bush? I mean - it really is getting old. We could bring up that your buddy "Bubba" presided over executions as well, but you probably wouldn't want that info to get out would you?I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
