This is why I'm against the death penalty
[quote]Douglas Prade walked out of an Ohio prison this afternoon after more than a decade behind bars.
The former Akron police captain convicted of the 1997 murder of his ex-wife was set free at 4:26 p.m. today from the Madison Correctional Institution in London, Ohio, said Summit County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Brad Gessner
[...]
"Based on the review of the conclusive Y-STR DNA test results and the evidence from the 1998 trial, the Court is firmly convinced that no reasonable juror would convict the defendant for the crime of aggravated murder with a firearm,"[/quote]
While his sentence wasn't the death penalty, but it was life in prison. Some people think that the death penalty is justified, I think it's safe to err on the side of caution to make sure we don't execute any innocent people.

1 ReplyIf we have SOLID evidence that the person convicted did the crime, and it was atrocious. What is wrong with the Death penalty? He's going to die anyway if you put him in with the general inmate population. If you really wanted to give someone dignity while administering justice to their horrible acts, you would kill them yourself (by yourself, I mean the Death Penalty). Not every case involving Capitol Punishment is so Cut And Dry as you're making it.
