Well, I never really came out and said that I was pro death penalty. But if I
were, I would be *damned* sure that the convicted party was indeed the perp. All
I am saying is that our current system leaves a lot to be desired.
What I suggested elsewhere is that the guilty should be made to *work* off their
debt to society (or, specifically, the parties wronged) for a lifetime-- who
knows? Maybe they would *ask* for the death penalty. This might even be more of
a deterrent for crime than the death penalty, because criminals would see that
they would have to *work* their whole lives, and might think twice before taking
the easy way through a life of crime.
