Please note that I have not read the posts on this thread past the first one. I do not feel the need to see them as I have my own opinions based on experiance.
I am still for the death penalty. I have been around some of these folks and really see no reason to warehouse them. I know that there are mistakes made but feel the vast majority are truly guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The homicides I was involved in investigating were the standard ones where the victim knew the suspect and it was a no doubt situation. After having to "work" with these people I have no desire to keep them around.
For those who think all these folks are just misunderstood and railroaded, you are beyone comprehension. You need to spend some "quality" time with them.
Now flame away if you want. I won't be paying much attention to it at all since damn few of you have had the experiances I have had with these predators.
