[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4332154, member: 45773"] Most people are talking about protecting the accused in this discussion...and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm all for due process. But I'm also all for protecting victims more than criminals. No... It's not right that an innocent person can get caught up in a system that might, on a very rare occasion, put them to death. No matter how you slice it, it's not right. But it's the system we have and there has to be a balance between seeing that justice is done for the victim and society without denying protections to the accused. There are many, many safeguards in place in an attempt to see this doesn't happen. Is it perfect? No...unfortunately, it can't be perfect. Just like the system oftentimes doesn't protect the victim like it should. And that's a tragedy that occurs far, far more often than a wrongly accused and convicted person being put to death. Far too many victims aren't afforded the luxury of a legal system looking out for them like it does the accused...because they're already dead. [/QUOTE]
