| Let me get this straight, we all agree that the system needs changing. Both sides agee that the appeals system is too costly. Both sides admit that criminals go free and the innocent sometimes get caught in the system.
Therefore what we need is a better system, or fix the flaws in this one, not a bunch of people pointing at the flaws in this one to claim support of their opinion. The current cost of appeals does not have a damn thing to do with effectiveness of CP, that is a lame (but apparently effective) attempt to distract attention. No one knows the number of people that would be killed of we simply let all the murders go, so pointing at the numbers of "innocents" killed by CP has nothing to balance it against. I have searched and never found a good accounting on what "innocents" have actually been killed by CP, all I have ever found were murderers and rapists that might not have committed the crime that put them to death.
Why is it that people wish to solve this problem with wishful thinking rather than using problem solving skills. It seems that the more important a subject is, the more likely man will stop using his brain and start using his feelings to solve it. Like I often say, irrational. |
