''2. Prior reviews by courts of the constitutionality of the death penalty did not have the benefit of recent developments that have shown a continuous stream of innocent people sentenced to death, some coming close to execution. The most dramatic revelations have come in the form of exonerations following DNA testing which was not available at the time of trial. These exonerations question the reliability of the entire system to select only the guilty for the death penalty. There are a number of reasons why the courts may have made such fundamental errors, including the quality of representation, the use of suspect evidence, and the failure to turn over all exculpatory evidence to the defense. In the final analysis, the present system falls so far short of reliability as to be unacceptable. The risks of error may be even higher in capital cases than in non-capital prosecutions, and the federal death penalty system is in no way immune from these dangers. ''



I suppose you were an opponent of the death penalty before DNA evidence came along weren't you BigRob?


No


Your pro life stance is hugely hypocritical.


We can start on civilian deaths in war next if you like.


Let me guess, they are collateral damage, the US uses precision bombing, only goes for military targets and the rest of the bull**** that people use to justify in their own minds the mass murder of hundreds of thousands of men, women and children.


Hey, but we must scream about the rights of a few brainless cells.


What about bombing pregnant women? Is that a predicament for you?
