If there is any doubt sure, trial them more, but there is so much conjecture, and technicality's bought into it now, that are not a true part of justice, its just in there for lawyers to milk the system, to make them richer.
My view is execute them as soon as found guilty beyond doubt, do it quickly and most painlessly, the guillotine I believe is still recognised as the best implement for this. |
Calling something an “old chestnut” doesn’t invalidate it. As to watching “Boston Legal,” something that you seem to believe has clouded my judgment, whatever “Boston Legal” is, I have never heard of it.
Regarding the conception of a directive that insists a criminal trial needs to prove guilt beyond a shadow of a doubt. To be realistic, this would make it so hard to convict anyone you would have guilty persons going free whilst still not totally guaranteeing that no innocent person would be condemned.
