I suppose in a consequences free world everything is a source of amusement. Joel Send a noteboard - 26/09/2011 12:33:14 AM
The death penalty included; suffering and injustice are as irrelevant as everything else, because everyone will be happy in the end.

In the real world hellfire and brimstone and universalism are both very dangerous, because love still cannot be coerced and not All Dogs Go to Heaven.

Slightly better than chocolate.

Love still can't be coerced.

i'm proud to live in a country where you can be executed based on circumstantial evidence... moondog - 22/09/2011 04:06:07 PM 1683 Views
Yeah it's pretty damn disgusting and frustrating... ironclad - 22/09/2011 04:08:05 PM 982 Views

And yet the Supreme Court didn't stop it. You're a lawyer right? Dark Knight - 22/09/2011 04:19:05 PM 1030 Views
Well, that right there was an ignorant thing to say. Dannymac - 22/09/2011 04:32:49 PM 1099 Views
But they get all the media attention Dark Knight - 22/09/2011 04:45:03 PM 989 Views

Cameron Todd Willingham is white, and his story is a national one since Perry is running for Pres Roland00 - 23/09/2011 03:41:52 PM 838 Views
those numbers are less schocking when you consider that blacks commet a lot more murders *NM* random thoughts - 22/09/2011 05:43:51 PM 431 Views
And this is a typically illogical argument. Cannoli - 22/09/2011 11:11:48 PM 1002 Views
You're kidding, right? Dannymac - 23/09/2011 02:55:44 PM 974 Views

Juror bias. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/09/2011 08:35:10 PM 395 Views
the jury was majority black *NM* random thoughts - 23/09/2011 09:03:48 PM 409 Views
In this instance, yes. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/09/2011 09:30:10 PM 365 Views
Your evidence for that? *NM* ßelals Girl - 23/09/2011 11:33:58 PM 406 Views
Twenty-one years of life in the American South. Ghavrel - 24/09/2011 12:40:10 AM 929 Views
Of course I'm interested ßelals Girl - 24/09/2011 04:03:51 AM 867 Views
From me being too involved with the subject material. I apologize. Ghavrel - 24/09/2011 11:16:06 AM 843 Views
No worries ßelals Girl - 24/09/2011 07:10:40 PM 841 Views
While I largely agree with your argument, I agree more with Cannoli on the NAACP. Joel - 23/09/2011 07:46:06 PM 913 Views
Wow ßelals Girl - 23/09/2011 07:50:06 PM 816 Views
It happens. Joel - 25/09/2011 03:09:00 PM 864 Views
yes the "you born white what more do you want" argument *NM* random thoughts - 23/09/2011 09:03:04 PM 403 Views
From what I've read it is pretty disturbing snoopcester - 22/09/2011 04:27:44 PM 1038 Views
Huh. Nate - 22/09/2011 04:47:20 PM 1037 Views
That jumped out at me too. Sareitha Sedai - 22/09/2011 04:50:52 PM 963 Views
What really confuses me Dark Knight - 22/09/2011 04:58:32 PM 914 Views
That's a good question and I really wish it would be addressed. Sareitha Sedai - 22/09/2011 05:05:40 PM 1023 Views

If the original trial is shown to be flawed that's supposed to require a new trial. Joel - 22/09/2011 08:25:51 PM 938 Views
Well... Jacob - 22/09/2011 05:18:54 PM 1058 Views
So if I understand you correctly... LadyLorraine - 22/09/2011 05:23:00 PM 1004 Views
Yes, that is correct. And proving witness coercion is likely to be difficult if not impossible. *NM* Macharius - 22/09/2011 05:30:37 PM 369 Views
almost random thoughts - 22/09/2011 08:25:06 PM 917 Views

I know one reason is that MightyYT - 22/09/2011 08:27:41 PM 985 Views
it is only confusing because the evidence isn't really that shaky random thoughts - 22/09/2011 08:54:21 PM 989 Views
you are innocent until proven guilty random thoughts - 22/09/2011 05:34:57 PM 987 Views
You must change your perspective..... Jeordam - 22/09/2011 07:33:20 PM 959 Views
Well said *NM* Dark Knight - 22/09/2011 08:49:56 PM 440 Views
If I understand the Supreme Court correctly, the reason they denied the stay of execution was MightyYT - 22/09/2011 08:25:14 PM 986 Views
On its face, that is a good reason. Joel - 22/09/2011 10:07:44 PM 1032 Views
I completely support the Death Penalty without question..... trzaska2000 - 22/09/2011 08:27:54 PM 889 Views
Unreasonable doubt is impossible to eliminate. Joel - 22/09/2011 09:54:43 PM 976 Views
Doubt can be eliminated.....any question about Dalmer? trzaska2000 - 23/09/2011 01:00:52 PM 1039 Views
Maybe he was framed by an enemy, government conspiracy or aliens. Joel - 23/09/2011 01:54:21 PM 901 Views
Jigga what? *NM* trzaska2000 - 23/09/2011 03:36:07 PM 510 Views
"I do not know if I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly or am now a butterfly..." Joel - 23/09/2011 06:50:34 PM 911 Views
Circumstantial evidence is not, I believe, a bar to conviction. Joel - 22/09/2011 09:43:56 PM 880 Views
Regarding the salvation thing, that is an argument FOR the death penalty, in my mind. Cannoli - 22/09/2011 11:37:16 PM 930 Views
That motive is seflish and thus fatal. Joel - 23/09/2011 01:17:00 AM 917 Views
Bullshit Cannoli - 25/09/2011 03:53:05 AM 1100 Views
Where do YOU get the idea that imperfect contrition is good enough? Joel - 25/09/2011 02:29:18 PM 1428 Views
Thank God you're not an evangelist. Dannymac - 23/09/2011 02:59:06 PM 921 Views
And I pity the souls you have ministered to. They're in for a rude shock at their judgement Cannoli - 25/09/2011 04:01:05 AM 906 Views
lol roman catholicism *NM* Ghavrel - 25/09/2011 04:39:55 AM 378 Views
Not just Roman Catholics, y'know, everyone who thinks God was not BSing about judgement. Joel - 25/09/2011 09:47:12 PM 957 Views
lol hellfire and brimstone *NM* Ghavrel - 26/09/2011 12:12:28 AM 371 Views
I suppose in a consequences free world everything is a source of amusement. Joel - 26/09/2011 12:33:14 AM 1120 Views
You really don't understand irony, do you? Particularly as it applies to your post about this case. Cannoli - 22/09/2011 11:26:49 PM 1020 Views
. Two Wongs - 23/09/2011 08:21:38 AM 941 Views
A list of anecdotal wrongs does not prove anything. If convictions can be wrong, so can exonerations *NM* Cannoli - 25/09/2011 04:03:26 AM 381 Views
Yes; it's the uncertainties that count. Either way. Two Wongs - 25/09/2011 04:15:48 AM 752 Views
sorry if i don't have time to link to every thing i've read on the subject moondog - 23/09/2011 02:54:50 PM 1077 Views
Well I would think you would have picked an article that offers some iota of proof of his innocence. Cannoli - 25/09/2011 04:14:45 AM 977 Views
I kind of agree. Vivien - 24/09/2011 12:05:27 AM 1002 Views
Well, I wouldn't call eyewitness accounts circumstancial evidence. Vivien - 23/09/2011 11:45:48 PM 920 Views
Eyewitness testimony is incredibly unreliable. *NM* Ghavrel - 24/09/2011 12:39:51 AM 378 Views
Nor would I, but I've heard that lawyers say, "an eye witness is the worst witness you can have." Joel - 25/09/2011 03:23:53 PM 906 Views
