Death penalty for this coward (From South Wales Argus)

Justice and revenge must never be confused. The Maguire Seven, The Birmingham Six, The Guildford Four, The Bridgewater Four, The M25 Three, Stephan Kishko, Judith Ward, .... The list goes on. All would have been killed for horrific crimes if we still had the death penalty. All were innocent even though most of them confessed under police intimidation.

However superficially attractive it is, the death penalty is not the way.

On the inside:

If the anti death penalty folks over there are anything like they are here, I suspect many of those "innocents" are, in fact, guilty.

But, only thorugh fact checking will tell, as here:

The false innocence claims by anti death penalty activists are common, blatant and legendary

THE DEATH PENALTY: SAVING MORE INNOCENT LIVES

Of all endeavors that put innocents at risk, is there one with a better record of sparing innocent lives than the US death penalty? Unlikely.

It is somewhat to be expected that there are calls from some quarters for the death penalty but where will it end. Most educated politicians take a bit more time to think about this idea. The number of such crimes is thankfully very low and in this instance the accused gave himself up because he realised he had seriously crossed the line, now let the law take its course. As for others being at risk because there is no death penalty there is no evidence to support this theory as theirs no evidence to disprove it either. Police officers have come out against the death penalty or for that matter arming the police as a matter of course. There are armed police available who are trained to a high standard and they are currently in action in Newport at the George Street incident today.

Dudleysharp, if you are so interested in the USA p*iss off and live there. Personally I could not care less. I was talking about my country All the examples I sited were shown to be totally innocent. In a number of cases the true culprit is now imprisoned or the police officers who broke the law to fit them up are. I could quote you many other examples but of course the facts will never overcome your personal blood **** will it.
