Vernon Forrest's Killers To Face The Death Penalty

[lcheezy]

justice will be served

[Allucard]

Not a fan of the death penalty but the shooting of Vernon Forrest was as cowardly an act as I've ever heard of. I guess I'd rather have that, than the murderers getting off after 6-11 years in prison as they would in our country.

I'm against the death penalty too but i feel exactly like this poster on this one. Life would be better though as the death penalty is too cowboy. But hey, no quells with this one.

i am anti death penalty but where did you get those numbers from?

a couple of years ago, an innocent rican was put on death row. he was there for 19 years. it was later proven that the state had found the true criminal had been found, yet the state let the rican SEVEN YEARS on death row while knowing that he was innocent!

he was set free and the state offered him hundreds of millions to compensate for their "mistake", yet he refused them

that's just a single example

That's happened lots of times. The guy should be happy he is alive, lots of guys from texas have been cleared of all crimes due to DNA evidence that was not available when they commited their crime. Only problem is they were already dead by then.

Now all we need is justice for Gatti.

But according to Fdopetorres this means you're uneducated and ignorant, LOL...

Bull****.

It costs the taxpayer 50 bucks per inmate to house them for one day. One day. As of 2006 2.3 million people were incarcerated in the American prison system. Do the math.

That adds up to $1,150,000.00 of total cost to house every inmate for a single day.

Multiply that by the 365 days in the year.

It's astronomical.

I say we bring the firing squads back.

And like you said, 3% innocent is a margin I can live with.

That's 97% pure justice.

Atlanta cops already know these are the guys responsible.
