What's wrong with locking him up and throwing away the key? |
I imagine the line of argument will be that locking him up would lead to increased taxation. We can't have that now, can we? |

Spot on, mate. Bloody spot on.
There's no question as to Troy Davis's guilt. There's no evidence beyond any doubt that he is guilty. However, methinks we are not debating guilt as much as we are the death penalty.
Capital punishment's strongest downside is that it is expensive; deathworthy trash like Troy Davis has cost taxpayers millions. |

Yeah, you've got that spot on. The biggest drawback to capital punishment is that it costs quite a lot of money. That is so much worse than the fact that an innocent person might be convicted.

Exonerated does not mean innocent...at least not in this case.

Not to mention it seems that the person who wrote that has an imperfect grasp of the English language and therefore not someone whom I would take at face value.
You DO know the difference between an acquittal and a pardon, do you not baca...sorry I mean Angry Bird Rios? |
