Over 43 years in jail for something she didnt do.The only reason she is free today is that she wasnt executed. Final proof that the death penalty has no place in a civilised society.
How many others are rotting in jail today ? How many innocent people have been killed. ?

Its a medieval punishment for backward times.

No,....what it proves is juries can be biased and come to the wrong conclusion.

Something about having the benefit of the doubt is thrown out the window when your jury is prejudiced against the defendant.

The death penalty can be a good way to remove dangerous criminals from society, that never can be rehabilitated.

Death penalty shouldn’t be used for cases with no witness or forensic evidence.

Not that this woman was given a death sentence, she was sentenced to life. So the premise of the OP is 100% false.

Death penalty works just fine for serial killers, pedophiles, child molesters and child killers.

Tammy is lying. This woman was not given the death penalty.

The sad part is it took this case to convince Tammy ... what a whitie ... only pretty white girls get his attention, all the darkies wrongfully executed over these past 200 years mean nothing to him ...

spandau seems secure enough. held hess for a life sentence. it might be interesting to see how goering or speer spent their imprisonment.

has nothing to do with the death penalty

The only reason she is free today is that she wasnt executed.

Chances are she'd still be in jail if she hadn't been on death row

Final proof that the death penalty has no place in a civilised society.

I'm opposed to it myself, even if she were guilty. but this example doesn't move the needle at all as to what kind of punishment would be better.

How many others are rotting in jail today ?

all the ones who were not executed? and unlike the woman in your example they will likely remain there to rot without the death penalty hanging over their heads.

How many innocent people have been killed. ?

By the state directly? or because the state released a killer who struck again tommy? not that that will matter to you...we should err on the side of caution and then be held accountable if we get it wrong.

Its a medieval punishment for backward times.

Replace "punishment" with "practice" and you could be describing wind turbines as an energy source.
I'm all for abolishing the death penalty, but this woman would, in all likelihood, still be sitting in jail.

btw tommy, "FINAL PROOF" means there will be no more proof forthcoming

Wheere did I say she had a death penalty. Did you pass English back in school ?

If our prisons and jails were allowed to treat inmates like they deserve to be treated fewer people would want to go number one... and maybe people would not want a death sentence for every murder...
Chain gangs whips and garbage for meals buckets to shit in and wash your face and no healthcare unless death is near...

I notice that since Ted Bundy was electrocuted in Florida's electric chair the number of young women he has abducted, raped and murdered has dropped to zero. The death penalty sometimes absolutely does work.

It is also a good way to remove innocent people who never did what they were convicted of. We have executed several people who were later found to be innocent. How do you justify killing innocent people?

Speer got 20 years.

That doesn't happen as often as you think... in fact today with DNA and appeals courts its almost non existent....

This is not evidence that the death penalty doesn't work. China, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, the Emirates, and others would like a word with you.

The death penalty works everytime it is enacted, because that creature that is executed cannot commit another crime. And is butt fucking another man's ass a civilized society or just another animal humping for attention?

She would be long dead in those countries.

I dont really know how to counter such stupidity. But I will repeat that killing innocent people is not just. In this country anyway.

 

[martybegan]

She would be long deas in those countries.

Here the process is thorough, and likely she would have been exonerated far SOONER than she was IF she was given the Death Penalty, because Death Penalty cases attract the attention of those trying to end it.

 

[odanny]

The death penalty "works" when it euthanises dangerous animals. And humans qualify as well.

There really needs to be an unquestionable amount of forensic evidence in order to execute someone, that is something we can control. If you left no DNA evidence at your crime, congratulations, you are an effective murderer, and you just earned yourself life without parole.
