Yes MoDawg it is revenge and punishment mixed And it is a shame that even with the introduction of the DNA proccess that a few individuals who may be innocent fall through the cracks Justice and Science are not perfect Because we as human beings are not perfect We do the best with what we have
But LWOP does not stop individuals from killing again One who wants to kill and has developed a taste for it will always find a way to kill again
We have had individuals who have been in solitary confinement and under close watch find a way to murder again

I remember prior to going to the jail, I was scared sh*tless because this guy was a "murderer" That wasn't the case. He was very remorseful from the beginning. He messed up. Never killed again. -------------------------------- Another man got 5 years in TDCJ for manslaughter (got in a fight...self defense) He's been out for more than 10 years.....no trouble. ------------------------ I'm sure those men who have killed in war have the taste for killing......they don't come back home and kill. -------------------------------- people change, people grow up.

Sclcookie
on both sides your going to find examples to back up ones case for every vicious unrepentant killer or serial killer that I have met Theres someone like you who has met someone repentant and reformed its kind of a stalemate with no real solution that would make either side happy
I do not feel everyone who kills desrves the DP there are far to many mitigating factors and cicumstances that play into it to be that general and biased

It's just not right. We're executing some good people that don't deserve it. Sure, they deserve to be in prison the rest of their lives, but not for us to kill them. We have executions in Texas, but people are still murdering other here. The death penalty isn't stopping that from happening.

Ok since I have to reply to both sclcookie and MoDawg I will do it in the oder posed to me this 1st post cookie , my next posting will be for MoDawg
Sclcookie I do see you"re point and I agree its an imperfect system I do not know if Richard Carwright was guilty or not I damn well know Ted Bundy was But both men were executed none the less
Mr Bundy was a rather heinous and vile individual You could sense that just by being near him you would get a creepy feeling everytime he was near and your hairs would stand up when he spoke I am convinced to this day still he was a human incarnate of pure dark evil I regret that my and my fellow officer's job had to be done but I honest to GOD think we did a great public service that day we sent him onward
As for other convicted individuals I was not always sure we were doing the right thing or on rare occasions I was not entirely convinced we had the right person that maybe we were not actually electrocuting the real killer
It is an imperfect system that sometimes is wrong and unjust and unfair but for the moment in the States that have the DP it is the law of the land so to speak And only a mass concenses by a vast majority of the populace will change that

Randall is actually married to Bobby's sister (so I guess that makes him my future brother in law) so I know quite a bit about it all. EC: The reason why you might feel restricted here is only because things started to get pretty nasty. There were personal attacks by pros to anti's that were deleated. Things like that don't belong on a support site. I have no problem with debates, just not attacks

As a European, I find even the idea of DP repulsive. I can not believe America, the biggest power in the world executes it's own people.
Here in the UK we abolished this unreliable system, DECADES ago. We are dealing with criminals since then quite happily and the British people for a FACT would cause UPROAR if any Government tried to reinstate the DP. That said Government would be thrown out of office by it own people.
Maybe we just care more for ALL our citizens.
I think our mind-set is way in front of American politics.
Anyway, welcome to the board.
