[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1347447, member: 711"] I want this SOB dead as much as about anybody, but understand that capital punishment is the most expensive thing we could do, and most expensive by a whole bunch. That is one of the points that supports the anti capital punishment agenda. About the succesful appeal, somebody probably didn't do their job right the first time. In Texas they just released an innocent man after 18 years of death row (and aren't giving him squat!). He was there largely because a DA lied, and withheld evidence from the defense. The real killer, who initially said this guy helped him, had repeatedly recanted that, and did it again as his last words when he was finally executed. That, plus an iron clad alibi, finally got this guy's [I]second[/I] conviction reversed. Just saying that our screwey legal system, which appears designed to completely bankrupt anyone who gets tied up in it, has some real safeguards that I want there if I get charged with something. That said, I still want this SOB dead. CB [/QUOTE]
