yeah, but thats because you are a broken manchild who lives in a black and white world where criminals are always guilty.

I do? really?

Look, this is a forum and I don't have time or motivation to put out all of the details how it would work in this imaginary "the world as i see fit" scenario... To try and make it short, this would be only for violent crimes where life in prison was the sentence. And as for no appeals, that would certainly only be when the evidence is overwhelming, like DNA evidence, or multiple eyewitneses, etc. If it were not overwhelmingly conclusive evidence, they would get one appeal - but it would need to be done relatively quickly, it would not be extended over several years.

This is a discussion forum, not ATOT. if you aren't willing to put in the time, then don't post retarded tripe like you did before. If everyone takes the time to put in well written posts we'll all be better off!

edit: also, eyewitnesses are notoriously unreliable, and I honestly think they shouldn't have as much weight in the courtroom as they do today. especially during a traumatic event, people's memories play tricks on them, and they'll never realise it.

Actually if you read through the whole thread you would see these things were mentioned above. As for eyewitnesses sometimes being unreliable that is why I said "multiple" eyewitnesses.

that still isn't any reason to post the same junk as well, is it?

I dunno... I posted what I posted and I am happy with what I put. I would do it again.

Is it a perfect system? Of course not, such a thing does not exist. I just dont see housing, feeding and healing these low lifes for the next 60+ years as a good solution. The point of incarceration is to get these people out of society so they cant harm again. Mine is a cheaper and better solution... as for respect for human life? No, I think these people lost that right when they killed, raped or molested their victims.

and in a perfect black and white world that would be gravy. however, we don't live in that world, where people are 100% reliable, and no mistakes are ever made. if there is even a chance that an innocent person is executed, we as a moral society cannot accept the death penalty.
