Ambiguity. To execute even one innocent person really is state sanctioned murder.
But then, look up Joseph E Duncan III and his lifelong escapades. Execution, in lieu of retroactive abortion when he was in his teens, would have saved numerous children from trauma and several lives.
Apparently our justice system cannot cope with a sociopath and he is just one of multitudes.

Until we abolish the death penalty we cannot call ourselves a civilized society.

If you think that the death penalty is uncivilized then what would you call abortion? 50 million abortions and counting. Just how civilized is that?

THERE IS NOTHING DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE NAZI INVASION OF POLAND IN 1939 AND THE BUSHIT NEOCON INVASION OF IRAQ IN 2003!

START WAR CRIMES TRIALS NOW!

AMERICA STAND UP OR SHUT UP!

If we execute a murderer...we are no different (in a sense)from him/her. Life in prison is a punishment, maybe to some, worse than death. But life in prison should mean just that...you stay there until you are dead and it should be no picnic while you are there.

Until we abolish the death penalty we cannot call ourselves a civilized society. Not when we KNOW we are in danger of executing innocent people and may have already.

Proud bleeding heart liberal here. As long as there is the chance an innocent person could be executed the death penalty should be abolished. It is naive and arrogant to assume not one innocent person has been executed, when 129 death row inmates have been exonerated. How many were executed without benefit of science or a good lawyer? As the D.C. Madam showed by her suicide, life in prison would probably be considered a harsher punishment in the long run, anyway. Its pretty dim-witted to think it could never happen to you or someone you love, just look at the victims in these stories, most are just everyday people just like you. So its up to you Congress, Supreme Court, prosecutors and self-centered, right-wing, ultraconservative, overconfident, reckless fools.

Right wingers don''t seem to get it.

If you execute someone who''s innocent: you are a murderer, and should be (by law) put to death.
