Illinois governor recently halted all executions in the state because of prosecution misconduct including with holding evidence. In the same state in Dallas county prosecutors were routinely encouraged in their training to remove all minorities races, Jews and people with physical afflictions from the jury pool. And in one case of a black defendant the prosecutor argued the blacks in the jury pool weren't intellegent enough so he dismissed them. There are serious social disparities in our capital punishment cases. And, personally, I would much rather die for my crimes than sit in jail for the rest of my life.
Death is the easy way out.
Let those who actually commit these crimes rot in jail for the rest of thier lives. And at the same time give those who are innoccent the right to life, and the time and ability to prove their innocence.
