Woman with 70 IQ set for Va. execution

Canada will just set up a commission if there is a human-rights violation, like getting your cable shut off. BTW, a lot of countries still have capital punishment on the books for treason.

 

It was Arkansas. Not Bill Clinton's shining hour.

 

This.

And if that were my family members she was convicted of killing/orchestrating their killings, I'd want to be the one holding the syringe.

Don't tell me it isn't humane. It wasn't humane what she was convicted of doing to her husband and step-son either. They didn't have a choice. Neither should she.

 

And if the convicted woman was your daughter or sister or wife, you would spare no expense to see that she was spared jail time or granted a new trial or acquitted by whatever technicality a smart lawyer would come up with.

So much for "If it was my family . . . " justice. Not an issue. Can never be an issue.

Exactly. He didn't want the case to be his Willie Horton.

 

Perhaps she could work in newspaper management.

 

I'm sorry, but no one will ever convince me that in true incremental dollars spent, administering the death penalty costs more than keeping someone incarcerated for 30-40 or more years.

And save me the studies and whitepapers showing otherwise, written or funded by anti-death penalty groups coincidentally I'm sure. Voodoo accounting at its best.

 

Amen to that! I also hate those biased MADD types that have the gall to tell me that not drinking and driving or not putting on my seatbelt increases my risk of injury or death in a car wreck. They're just trying to push through their agenda!

 

Agree completely.

 

More people who should be put to death.

 

Jay, I will say this . . . I support the death penalty, but what you wrote may be the only thing within this thread that makes me stop and think about that decision. To me, the only good argument either for or against brought up yet.
