Re: This is why I\'m for the death penalty.
[ QUOTE ]
Then why are we concerned about innocent people being executed? [/ QUOTE ] First of all, there is something known as "beyond reasonable doubt". If you require video footage to ever sentence anybody, crime increase dramatically. Second, it should be obvious that the person might be innocent even if there was no apparent doubt during trials.

[/ QUOTE ] So prison when we are "beyond reasonable doubt", and death penalty when "there is no doubt what so ever". Videotape, DNA, confession and such sometimes makes the case 100% slam dunk, and there is no way whatsoever that anyone will think that the person is innocent.

I'm against the death penalty in all cases. The innocent-probability in a case shouldn't decide if he is executed or not.

Re: This is why I\'m for the death penalty.
Yeah, thats why I asked you if your feelings on the matter was moral or practical. As it is about moral it was kind of redundant to even discuss the practibility of it as you would not find it acceptable in any cases.
