What do you all think? Should there be a death penalty?
Why or why not? |

QUOTE(TBoltzbabe @ May 18 2004, 3:46 PM) this isn't always true. if you don't have an alibi, it turns to be your word against someone else's. in lots of cases there's no way you can prove yourself innocent. and i agree with tkproduce. it just seems wrong that the government is willing to risk the lives of a few (a tiny number, but still a number) of innocent people just to be able to get rid of some criminals. i mean it is wrong for us to act like we're god and kill already living people, guilty or not, but to add to the fact that they also risk killing innocent people to do so, it's wrong. ... In America's fine justice system, you NEVER have to PROVE that you're innocent. It's up to the prosecutor to prove that you're guilty. It's called burden of proof. If the jury can't decide whether someone is innocent or guilty, that person is LET FREE, because he has a presumption of innocence. If that person is PROBABLY guilty, but you aren't sure, then he is INNOCENT. A guilty person must be convicted guitly beyond all reasonable doubt in America. At least in the old America. |
