Death penalty

Clearly, you weren't the intended audience. If you had been, I would have enlarged the font and used words of two syllables.

Took you a while to think up the second line didn't it.

Everybody convicted of any offence has had their conviction proved beyond all reasonable doubt.


Strange isn’t it that people are ever later found to have been wrongfully convicted.

Justice Melford Stevens told the Guildford 4 when sentencing them that he would have sentenced them to death if it had been available to him


Guess what, years later their convictions were quashed.


Or how about Stefano Kisko anyone?


Loads more case of people convicted beyond all reasonable doubt on evidence that was later discredited, often after original scientific evidence was discredited

Not as long as it took you to read it.

C'mon shep, here boy,here boy.

You do realise how unoriginal that is, I've been hearing it for almost 50 yrs!

Must try harder.

Presumably @shep thinks there should be a third verdict available to juries, that of “really, really, really sure.”

Still no thoughts on the people I've mentioned, guilty of murder?

C'mon grow a pair and commit DO YOU THINK LEE RIGBYS KILLER IS GUILTY OF MURDER?

 

[glasgowcyclist]

Because I genuinely feel there are cases that are clear cut.

Do you feel that because some cases seem clear cut to you, that would justify the odd wrongful execution?

I ask the same of you, any chance Lee Rigbys killer was innocent or the Soham murderer?

I doubt it.

Why won't YOU acknowledge this aspect of capital punishment?

What am I not acknowledging?

Bored now.

I am indeed disillusioned, but

 

[Salty seadog]

Where have you answered whether you think the people I've mentioned are possibly innocent?

I've answered already it's not acceptable but I also think there are clear cut proven cases of guilt.

That's not a yes or even a no.

Did you understand the question.

 

[newfhouse]

DO YOU THINK LEE RIGBYS KILLER IS GUILTY OF MURDER?

Yes.

Do you think it is respectful to his family to use his name for purposes that they have warned against?

I doubt it.

I would guess they 'seem' clear cut to the entire justice system and have done for a number of years.

This is what you don't want to acknowledge, there are lots of people out there that have DEFINITELY killed people and they deserve to die.

Any thoughts on the cases I've mentioned or do you think there's a chance their innocent?
