Quote by: brien Who is to say this still can't happen today? What has changed to prevent an innocent man from being charged with murder and then convicted by a jury?

Which is why I don't support it when it's one murder. A one time killer is easily misconvicted, and not likely to kill again after release. Show me an overturn in the case of a serial killer. Those are the men that will kill again if they get out and those are the ones that aren't worth the risk of keeping alive.

This, I am sure, is only the ones we know about, so what about the people on death row who haven't been exonerated yet? Can you tell me with absolute certainty there isn't one more innocent person on death row. Odds are showing me that there indeed are now.

And again, I don't support it in the case of a onetime crime. That is easily misconvicted, and I don't know that I feel comfortable in killing that person even if they are guilty. I only support it in the case of a serial killer.

First how do you know a convicted murderer won't regret what they did.? Second, should an inmate suffer or should he be remorseful? Is the goal of prison to make inmates suffer?

It is to make them pay for their crimes and to deter others from committing the same crime. Now, some inmates regret the crimes that they committed, and those I feel pity for, and those will create their own suffering. But, some don't, they flat out don't care that they are responsible for someones death, rape or collateral loss. And those people need to see that something bad will happen to them in order to abstain from the crime. From everything I've ever read/seen/heard on the mentality of a serial killer they all fit that bill. If you can show me ten murderers that are classified as serial killers that don't I'll be shocked.
