Elizabeth Warren doesn't think Boston Bomber should get death penalty

.

 

Luckily she won't be on the jury that decides.

5-0

 

Meh. Put him in gen pop. He won't last long.

 

I kinda agree with her except Life with out Parole and has to eat Pig meat daily.
Now If they go ahead and Croak him Make sure theres some Pig blood in that needle

 

Right. She'll be the next POTUS, and everything will be just swell. Just like it is now.

 

Hmmm, welp, I don't think he should get the death penalty...most of
jihadis want to be martyrs...so imo, let him rot in prison with no chance
of parole....has nothing to do with fer er agin the death penalty...don't
give him the satisfaction.....

 

Truth. Death row would keep him alive longer and cost a bunch of $$ with all the required court procedures.

 

She's being consistent, at least. I respect that.

 

Isn't prison's purpose supposedly to rehabilitate the inmate so he can return to society?

 

We need prison reform so incredibly bad in this country. We have a higher prison population than Communist China. The drug war is to blame for much of that. Our entire criminal justice system is rotten right down to the cops on the street.

 

Obviously not, or they wouldn't have a life sentence sans parole or the death penalty. Of course, you're really just making some sort of comment that escapes me.

 

for profit prisons and their lobby are to blame for a lot of that

 

You might want to restate that Lil bro. we a Higher % per capita. Not a Higher number in total

As for the DP Im pretty much ambivalent. I dont see the sense in it , Not that I think its necessarily wrong. In certain clear cut cases it should be levied and carried out swiftly Much like McVeigh. On the other hand sentence em to LWOP and quit all the endless Money wasting appeals and last ditch efforts by the Do Gooders to save some maggots life, Just lock em away.

 

No that was the point. If there's no intent on rehabilitating the inmate to return to society then might as well execute him

 

I wish Mcveigh was still waking up every morning with the slow realization of where he is. Feed him vitamins, put him on a treadmill and make him live to be 120. He got off easy.

 

Or to purge an evil from society.

 

I'm not for the DP in general. Mostly because some states I won't name (Texas) use it liberally and have many documented case of getting it wrong. Obviously not the case here, but inmates sit so long on death row and go through so many court procedures it just seems like a huge waste for the small number of cases that come up. I suspect getting life in prison is cheaper. It would rob prosecutors their spot in the limelight though.

 

I've always maintained that, since life is cheaper than death row, that we can assure that we never kill another innocent person by simply not having state sponsored death penalties.

 

Thats always been my position is its cheaper in the long run to lock em up and throw away the key, Unless they WANT to die then go ahead and snuff em.

As far as getting it wrong? Very seldom is a Truly innocent man condemned to death.

 

That's actually *worse*. You know that, right?
