Reply #2: the ONLY way to "ensure that no innocent people are executed" is to STOP the DP.

[Solly Mack]

and our rights MUST be protected in order to achieve full and actual due process. Due process isn't about making the victim or even the victim's family feel better (and I have been a victim of a brutal crime) it's about protecting the innocent from false imprisonment caused by the violations of rights. Sure, such a system means the guilty will sometimes walk free...but it also helps to ensure that the innocent won't go to jail....and if the innocent don't go to jail, the state can't kill them.

Now, corrupt people are working throughout the criminal justice system, so innocent people will still go to jail because of corrupt cops, corrupt prosecutors and judges, corrupt public defenders, and even because of corrupt and stupid jurors - as well as jurors that the cops and prosecution have duped....so that's why the DP must stop.


What some people call technicalities, I call my rights.

"He got off on a technicality - the warrant wasn't valid"

NO. He got off because someone didn't do their job according to the law/rules/regulations designed to protect the rights of the accused.

And we all have to remember - ANYONE can become the accused..innocent or not. (especially in Bush's America)
