Supreme Court Reviews the Death Penalty
I have been waiting and hoping this will get settled. But like any S.C. decision, I do not know if the results will be good or bad either way it goes.
The problem is is the jury system should be lenient when it can be. Just in case they are wrong on one point. The stickler on this law is it forces the worse consequence if a jury is tied on the mitigating factors vs the henious crime.
Now here is the kicker.
Do we allow the system to be a tad more merciful just in case a jury gets it wrong and someone might be innocent because they were crazy? Or do we let 2 cop-killers and 2 mass-murdering brothers go? Even if the cases in the past were clear-cut. If the state death penalty gets overturned for being un-Constitutional all death penalty convictions are removed.
A second, unrelated injustice is a lot of people have made racial hate sites for the Carr Brother killings. I think they should have been charged with a hate crime, but because they haven't doesn't mean everyone needs to don white robes and shout zion conspiracy. That is another thing that ticks me off is I can't find a non-racist site that has details of the killings. Once you read one-tenth of what the Carr Brother victims' went through you'd be surprised that they made it alive to the trial.
