This guy has a worse understanding of double jeopardy than Sean Connery.

As any ex-football player can tell you. You write a book about how you would have done it hypothetically.

Later days you piece of shiat.

You know, I don't generally support the death penalty, but with that kind of weapons-grade stupid.......

Indeed. It's times like this I wish we had Klingons around, because Klingons know how to conduct an execution.

Slowly. And painfully.

Mind you, it's a much safer idea if you are found innocent by a jury, rather than if the case gets thrown out by the judge (either trial or appeal). As I^AmNotALawyer understand, this is because matters decided by a judge may be retried, but constitutionally (Sixth Amendment) matters of fact tried before a jury can't.

Of course, even if you hear that "not guilty", and even if your lawyer tells you "yeah, even if you admitted it now they couldn't charge you with anything"... it's still dumb, especially in the South. Because if you dare to admit that yes, it really WAS you that raped and murdered that sweet young girl back in 1990, you may find out that a court of law is not the only place you may face punishment. While no doubt the police will arrive at the scene of the lynch mob, there's the "possibility" it will be too late to prevent that murder being committed as retribution; and while no doubt that to discourage vigilante justice and uphold the rule of law, the prosecutor will feel obliged to file charges against anyone conclusively identified as a participant, making such identifications may be difficult-- and doubtless anyone identified will exercise their right to Trial by Jury....

Well. Bye.

I am against the death penalty for humans. I am cool with destroying this animal because he does not meet this criteria in my mind.

I can just see the taunting comments now:
"Dear Prosecutor - What's the difference between your mother and a mallard with a cold? One's a sick duck,...

I can't remember the rest, but your mother's a whore.

p.s. I'm guilty."

abb3w: it really WAS you that raped and murdered that sweet young girl back in 1990

What you did there - I see it.

Close, but not quite. It doesn't matter whether it was a jury trial or a bench trial, it matters what the original verdict was. A verdict of "not guilty" essentially ends the trial, because double jeopardy prevents retrial even if the prosecution wanted to appeal. A verdict of "guilty" can be appealed, but the appellate courts won't turn a "guilty" verdict into a "not guilty" verdict, they'll just throw it out and force a new trial.

Also, you'd be stupid doing this anywhere, because you can still face a civil trial in a wrongful death suit after the criminal action ends.

I was kinda thinking along the same lines.

Nightjars: The only unfortunate thing about this situation (other than what happened to his victims, obviously), is that his death will not be by trauma caused by sodomy.

Other than that, bye-bye.


Traumatic Sodomy. Now THERE's a band name for ya...

No need for the death penalty. He'd do something stupid and kill himself anyway, like choking to death on a pretzel.

I have had this position for a while. I think people should have a trial for their crimes and be sentenced to prison accordingly. Once that is done, I believe that the Prosecution should be able to make a motion to determine if the convict actually is qualified to be considered human. A definition involving the understanding between right and wrong, capable of feeling guilt and empathy. Stuff like that. Not whether they are pricks or even how bad their crimes are, just prove that they are human beyond the physical definition.

If he is deemed human, he serves his sentence. If not, he should be destroyed the same way you destroy a pit bull who bit a child.

I'm generally opposed to capital punishment, but for some reason I can't muster up any sympathy for this douche.

GilRuiz1: IonBeam2: Why is the death penalty a bad thing again?

Because it's racist, because only innocent people unjustly oppressed by society are ever executed, and because only bloodthirsty barbarian monsters approve of the death penalty.

Not racist in this case, but I do admit it is not dealt in an equal manner.
Only innocent..... bullshiat
He's the monster, and no longer has value as a human.

I think they opened for Butthole Surfers...

spqr_ca: I'm generally opposed to capital punishment, but for some reason I can't muster up any sympathy for this douche.

I'm against the Death Penalty because it is asymmetrically applied across race and SES, capricious, and is in error far too frequently for my liking.

I am NOT against the Death Penalty because the person doesn't deserve it.

I see no way of fixing it, but I have zero sympathy for this man nor do would I grant clemency were I governor.

would have been better if they had closed. think of the headline...

"Buttholse Surfers ended with Traumatic Sodomy"
