Re: Couey Gets Death Penalty
Since I am anti it - and only became so after being here a few years and seeing the injustices of how it is applied - I would be all in favor or hanging him up from a tall tree, cutting off his limbs inch by inch, covering him in honey letting a rope drop to the ground and letting a nest of fire ants loose below him.
I'm all for locking him up in a cell in general population.

Re: Couey Gets Death Penalty
nurses assist the doctor in administration of the lethal injection, i wonder how they justify that to themselves in an ethical sense jobwise sometimes, im not saying i disagree with the death penalty, i just wonder how it makes them feel and their reason behind choosing to be that person.
during my job, there are many things i have to do, that sometimes if you gave them too much thought it could be bad for the head
having said that its also very rewarding

Re: Couey Gets Death Penalty
I was number 8 on the against the death penalty for the same reason as the above. You cannot have a institutionalized death penalty as long as innocent people are being killed.

The decision is not taken lightly to execute.More safety and earlier decisions as to final appeals must be quicker.No longer should they be waiting 20 plus years.For the crimes as discussed on here execute without delay.

Re: Couey Gets Death Penalty
Sorry, but everyone in the justice system is found guilty "beyond reasonable doubt", but still there's innocent people being convicted, not loads, but enough.

Re: Couey Gets Death Penalty
i'm gonna vote yes but it's ONLY if the person has been proven 110% with forensics that they are the guilty party...if i was on the jury and any doubt whatsoever then it would be no.

Re: Couey Gets Death Penalty
When did forensics ever provide conclusive proof of murder? A felony murder conviction generally requires proof of intent, and we don't have a machine to measure that.

Re: Couey Gets Death Penalty
i agree with you, as in all areas of science evidence from forensics does not mean proof, very rarely is one piece of evidence conclusive proof. i would look at forensics as supporting evidence to help prove a point.
