I don't mean any disrespect to victims of these terrible crimes, or
their family members. I'm sure we all know family, friends etc that
have been victims of terrible crimes, or who have been a victim of a
terrible crime themselves.
But, I hope for your sake, and all of ours, that this "No appeals, on
murder/rape/child abuse cases! Execution takes place immediately
following brief trail" thing never happens.
How many death row inmates have been exonorated after sitting on
death row for years due to recent DNA testing cleared them? What a
shame it would be to kill innocent people because they were denied
due process, which includes the right to appeal.
Just because the crime is horrible, doesn't mean you have to condemn
the accussed without due process. You may find yourself falsely
accussed of a terrible crime someday, and I think you'd change your
tune pretty quickly then. Anyone can acusse anyone else of a terrible
crime, and if the circumstances come together, you could be in deep
doo-doo very quickly. Life is stranger then fiction.
And I'm not advocating leniency for killers, rapers, child molesters,
etc, I just don't want my right to due process compromised because
someone wants swift "justice" (read revenge) so they'll feel
that "something" has been done, so they can feel better.
If we're going to kill people in the name of the law, lets make sure
we've got the right people.
