You can't send people to life because they might become a killer!!!
If that was the case we'd all be in jail.

I admire that man very much.
JCOSTER said:^ then how come the 39 sex offenders living in my area are not in jail?
They served time but, it wasn't life.

why is a sex offense any better or worse than robbing a 7-11?
JCOSTER said:
The molesters in the above cases were guilty molesters first...then they turned into killers.

I say that he should be buried alive the same way she was, tortured and raped too. Good riddence for crap like him. Its just one left we have to worry about.
unico said:so is anyone else alarmed or at least curious about the list i posted earlier?
phillyfan26 said:The biggest flaw in the idea of the death penalty is that there is always a chance that the person is actually not guilty. It happens. You hear and read the stories. Why take the chance that you are killing someone who is not guilty? The justice system is built on the idea that a guilty verdict derives from a belief beyond a reasonable doubt. Not certainty.

True.
Very true.

I want someone who's pro-DP to counter-argue this. I really do.
Do you have data to support this?BonoVoxSupastar said:And unless they were found to be clinically insane then yes most child murderers do get life

Are you kidding? Now they want to lock up "would be" killers.

Depressed. We're in such lovely company.
How would abolishing the death penalty cause a reduction in murder rates, aren't they two seperate issues.anitram said:
What is even more telling is that the US has a higher murder rate than all those western countries which abolished the death penalty. Great deterrent!

Sometimes I think so many people are so worried about the convicted child molester down the street that they don't pay a bit of attention to Uncle Joe who's been molesting generations of family members. My guess (and it is just my guess) is that if you know people from work, school (your kids or your own), church, various clubs, etc., you already know at least one child molester. I would also bet that person will never be arrested or convicted.

JCOSTER said:
I never said that. What I was getting at is that sooner or later a child molester would end up killing one of its victims.
AchtungBono said:I know that you're not implying that Couey was innocent so what are you saying? This is a clear case of guilt that Couey himself confessed to many times and that was PROVEN in a court of law.
Where is the assumption of innocence in this case?
