Quote:It isn't like he's unique in that. Rick Scott is still trying to kill people with mental retardation.


Before people stand and shout the laughable premise that the death penalty is in any way, shape, or for, a remote notion of a deterrent, they might consider that in this state, for every 3 executions there is one EXHONERATION.


Can you ratify your belief knowing that it causes innocent people to be sent to death row regularly?


This isn't the rare, "oops, that happens from time to time" (as if that makes it ok, and that blood isn't directly on the hands and attributable to those with thismisplaced belief system)


This is REGULAR. And that's just what has been proven, and those who were lucky enough to have a miracle worker grinding it out over years to expose the truth.


I wonder how victimized the actual families of victims feel when they find out the person they have blamed for their loved ones death is actually INNOCENT. Not even contemplating the family of the EXHONERATED.


Bear in mind, too, that a large part of people in question of their guilt simply have their sentences commuted to life, and then they are forgotten and the case buried from there.

Regardless, neither Scott nor Christ have any moral high ground on this issue. They both have blood on their hands directly.
