Watching this lovely little boy Tony last night on the news last night was humbling. How can any human being do what they did, how can anyone do anything like that and to their own baby, they can’t change, you could never live with the guilt if you did. His birth parents should never come out of prison, but with this new law it will mean a life sentence for future cases, Thank God he has a home with his proper Mom and Dad where his is so loved.
People literally get away with murder now there is no deterrent. The victims and perpetrators get younger.

As I have repeatedly said, if there is any doubt whatsoever then the death penalty should never be implicated.
I have no doubt that sometimes the justice system gets things very wrong, in that case absolutely no room for mistakes or errors or even set ups, but only when it is proven.
Some killers ask for the death sentence, because they know they will reoffend.

As I have repeatedly said, if there is any doubt whatsoever then the death penalty should never be implicated.

If there is any doubt whatsoever the accused should be found Not Guilty!

Not necessarily.
They may be guilty of killing because they are having temporary issues.
They may genuinely not understand what they've done.
They may be in fear for their own life.
They may have been coerced to the extent that they no longer understand right from wrong.
They may have alcohol, addiction to drugs, or any number of problems.
They still shouldn't be found not guilty.

I can't remember which drug it is (crystal meth?) but people in the grip of an addiction to it have committed some truly, truly horrific murders, one on a packed greyhound bus.
So, no question that he killed, but whilst in the grip of drug induced psychosis.
He ate somebody's face.
Not guilty?

Little Arthur’s mother may agree with you when serving her prison sentence.

Yes she killed another mother's son.

Sorry, I meant his step mother

I've no interest in what that thing agrees or disagrees with.

Neither have I.

I meant being in prison with all knowing what she had done she too may then agree with the death penalty
