Not suprising, with all that care and time, there is no evidence of an innocent executed since the 1930's.
It looks like about 25 actually innocent people have been sent to death row since 1973, or about 0.3% of the 8100 sent to death row during that time and they were all released on appeal
Really? What about Cameron Todd Willingham?
And is that the number of people exonerated post-execution, or the expected number of people was executed despite being innocent?
ReplyDeleteWhy all the fuss about killing innocents? If they are Chritians, then they go to heaven - almost a favor. If they aren't Christians, then we give them time to repent and then kill them. So they choose whether they are going somewhere good or bad.
ReplyDeleteFunny, no one who makes such an argument ever killed themselves a moment before.
