Ok before you say hell no and exit my forum please read more. I for one used to support capital punishment. I am former military. Here recently I have became I supporter of the NCADP. My main thing was I figured it would be better to go ahead and kill criminals than to feed them for the rest of their lives. Did you know that it is cheaper to house and inmate for 40 years than to execute them? Also the electric chair is still the primary form of execution in Alabama. Also Alabama has a law to where a judge can over throw the jury's decision for life without parole. Also once someone is sentenced to death row they are no longer allowed to use DNA evidence. Also when a defendant is given a state appointed attorney the attorney is only allowed to perform $1,000 of defense service to the accused. Can you imagine all of the people who have been put to death that were not guilty? I have to say put yourself in the position of the accused loved ones. What if you were watching your child be electrocuted for a crime you knew they did not commit or your spouse? I think it is a total crock that someone can plead guilty to avoid the death penalty. There is a man in Atmore at Holman prison. Steven Mullins. He killed a homosexual black man by cutting his throat and stuffing him in the trunk of his own car. He turned himself in 3 days later and told law enforcement that he killed the man because he was a "nigger fagget" and that he didn’t feel like he needed to live any longer. He dogged the death penalty by pleading guilty. I’m sorry but that does not seem like justice to me. I talk with criminals every day. I have a prison pen pal program that I participate in and many men on death row say they would rather be put to death than have life without parole and they may have thought twice about having committed their crime if they would have thought they would have to spend life in prison. I am asking you to please open your minds and consider everything I have said. Please feel free to Google the NCADP and look at the hard evidence and facts.IP: Logged |
