Yeah, that system works really well
Where humans are involved mistakes will be made.
Capital punishment is from the dark ages and needs to stay there.
I'm not saying the current system doesn't have its problems (lets face it, it can be a joke) but executing people will never be an acceptable solution imo.
In the age of technology we live in, and the breakthroughs with DNA matching that we have, the chances of sentencing(sp) an innocnet person to death row is much more remote than it used to be. The reason capitol punishment was abolished, was due to not being able to pin point with 100% backed up evidence someone's guilt - these things have changed now.
I say bring back capitol punishment
But if I had to choose a law to be discarded - I discard the law that allows illegal immigrants the rights to live here, in free houses with benefits, enjoying my tax money for their lifestyles....
