knapplc Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 I can't help but think that spending 40 years on Death Row violates a person's 6th Amendment right. I understand the plain language only allows for a speedy trial, but surely it's not impossible to connect that to sentencing and the execution of that sentence. In most first-world countries that man would not only not be executed, he'd have been released from prison by now. But, of course, most of our peer countries attempt actual rehabilitation of criminals. 1 Link to comment
Archy1221 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I might be in the minority here, but I have zero problem with a person being in jail for life for murdering 8 yr olds girls. I don’t care what any other country would or wouldn’t do. That $&^%# had his chance at life, the little girl didn’t. 1 1 Link to comment

Lorewarn Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Maybe this is a dumb question, but if states are going to be cool with having the death penalty, why not kill them the day they get sentenced? After a month? After a year? A decade max to leave a reasonable amount of time for appeals if they were wrongly convicted? Link to comment

Judicial system is so backed up even the initial appeal probably wouldn’t have been heard by then 5 hours ago, Lorewarn said: A decade max to leave a reasonable amount of time for appeals This seems pretty reasonable 1 Link to comment

suh_fan93 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Ginni Thomas being the wife of a supreme court justice no less is the worst kind of Republican and it seems there's plenty of those to go around these days. Coo coo for Cocopuffs. 2 Link to comment
