I don't know why people think someone who doesn't get the death penalty has gotten away with something.

My stance on the death penalty is, until we can show that people are never wrongly convicted of capital crimes, we shouldn't be killing them. How many people has The Innocence Project (is that the correct name?) rescued off death row? And besides, the death penalty is disproportionately used against people of color. Another example of racism killing people.

It's a hugely flawed system, and all states should do away with it.

So we're even.

The death penalty is flawed, exppensive, and prone to errors. It's not a deterrent. And there is somehting about the government killing it's own citizens that never sits right. You'd think all those gun lovers would be anti death penalty as well.

It is not preventative

Humans are the most violent creature on earth.
Animals will kill only when it involves food or mating, but they will not kill just for the thrill.

She was a half-fast AG, who slept through a $$50million "Christian investments" fraud, while riding a slam dunk murder case. Hero cop, shot by a loser from the big city, she obsessed on her political future to the detriment of all else. Lousy senator, full bushbot.

Read the piece-it is NOT retroactive and Addison remains under sentence of death. However we were never going to execute him anyway. We have no death row and no lethal drugs nor any way to get them. The last person executed here was in 1939 and no one here has any desire to restart the process.
