Kamidake Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 I'm a U. S. citizen, and while I have no moral objections to the death penalty in general, I think it should be immediately suspended here, regardless of whether the condemned is retarded, because the legal system is so corrupt and so haphazard. An article in the "Atlantic Monthly" last year made a persuasive case that as many as 25% of the people on death row may be innocent. And of course we have all read the horror stories about court-appointed lawyers sleeping through the trial or showing up drunk. Therefore, I believe no one else should be executed until the system is cleaned up. If we start now, the system MAY be pretty well reformed in about fifty years or so, so as a practical matter, I think everyone on death row should have his sentence commuted to life imprisonment. I can't address the situation in other countries because I don't know that much about other countries' legal systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
