This is why I'm against the death penalty

[quote]Douglas Prade walked out of an Ohio prison this afternoon after more than a decade behind bars. The former Akron police captain convicted of the 1997 murder of his ex-wife was set free at 4:26 p.m. today from the Madison Correctional Institution in London, Ohio, said Summit County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Brad Gessner [...] "Based on the review of the conclusive Y-STR DNA test results and the evidence from the 1998 trial, the Court is firmly convinced that no reasonable juror would convict the defendant for the crime of aggravated murder with a firearm,"[/quote] While his sentence wasn't the death penalty, but it was life in prison. Some people think that the death penalty is justified, I think it's safe to err on the side of caution to make sure we don't execute any innocent people.

  • I support the death penalty, but only in extreme cases (such as serial killing or mass shootings) and only with overwhelming evidence (something incontrovertible, like multiple eyewitnesses or a pile of bodies in the basement; not just a single hair or something like that).
