Quote:You have provided nothing, other than your opinion, and think I'm the fool because I don't believe You?

 

And you think I'M the stupid one?

 

You have nothing but opinion and speculation.

 

Like I said, Not one name. Not one PROVEN innocent person executed. I have heard a lot of excuses, theories, and opinions, but nothing proven. Not a single name PROVEN.

 

That's the thing you cannot overcome. You cannot PROVE a single thing you're saying.

 

Give one proven name, and you will get an apology and I will fully accept that I was wrong.

 

One name. It's not that big of a deal.

This is just embarrassing. I have, and of course you know that. It would require actual stones to argue the points. It also speaks VOLUMES that you choose to ignore the questions posed to you, after I've repeatedly answered the same questions, even when you decide to go with "ughhhhhh but what about a case number". I can just see you chuckling, "errr I've got him on that one!"


You don't just get to ask the same question that has been answered multiple times while ignoring the questions posed to you, while not addressing the answers at all, and remain credible. It's just sad. Sad that there are so many people who don't have the intestinal fortitude to honestly discuss a real issue.



Here is a nice quote from a proponent of the death penalty, which truly shows he has the guts to deal with his belief, while you, obviously do not:


"A legal regime relying on the death penalty will inevitably execute innocent people - not too often, one hopes, but undoubtedly sometimes. Mistakes will be made because it is simply not possible to do something this difficult perfectly, all the time. Any honest proponent of capital punishment must face this fact. "


-- U.S. District Judge Michael Ponsor


Also:


In the past, I have been a strong advocate of the death penalty. I voted in favor of the resumption of capital punishment in 1977, and I have supported additional provisions expanding the categories of criminal actions for which the death penalty may be imposed.

However, I have now become one of those who believe that we must take another look at the death penalty.

-Vincent Callahan (R., Va. House of Delegates)


Not to mention the Supreme Court, acknowledging the obvious (well, to most)



[T]he Court found that the best available evidence indicates that, on the one hand, innocent people are sentenced to death with materially greater frequency than was previously supposed and that, on the other hand, convincing proof of their innocence often does not emerge until long after their convictions.

- U.S. v. Quinones (2002)



And for malabar's consideration,


“Had the state of Illinois gotten its way, I‘d be dead today.”

- Ronald Jones, EXHONERATED and released from death row


And


At the end of the day, perhaps the best argument against capital punishment may be that it is an issue beyond the limited capacity of government to get things right.

-Scott Turow, Author and Former Federal Prosecutor [34]
