How much is too much to spend on the innocent?

Do we spend too much public money on death penalty appeals? I don't think so.

Read this man's story - the horrors he went through because of a scumbag prosecutor.

Next time you sit on a jury look into the eyes of that prosecutor and ask yourself "can I trust him?"

The Prosecution Rests, but I Can’t

Next time you sit on a jury, look to your left, and look to your right.

Then think to yourself "None of us were smart enough to get out of jury duty".

Anyone that wasn't smart enough to get out of jury duty is bound to screw things up.

Well, at least you'll be getting a jury of your peers.

Very weak effort, but I'd expect nothing less, dog whisperer.
I don't do jury duty, sport. Nobody smart enough to tie their shoes does. When's the last time you were part of a jury?

Prosecutor misconduct along with police misconduct, honest mistakes with processing evidence, and the unreliability of eye witness testamony are all reasons why I would be hard pressed to vote for the death penalty. I suspect that that attitude would prevent me from being seated on any jury in a death penalty case.

BTW, I do think that some people commit such heinous crimes that they probably deserve the death penalty, but in those cases, keeping them in prison for life without parole is probably more punishment. Timothy McVeigh, for example, deserved life without parole so that he could rot in a jail cell and contemplate murdering 168 innocent people every day of the rest of his life. Bush let him off easy.
