We need to be more like China and execute everyone on deathrow without them sucking up our tax dollars.

I think the execution was awesome. The old "I din do nuffin" line doesn't fool me. I'm going to take a wild guess and speculate that he was "turnin' his life aroun" too. hahaha What a crock of shit.

they should have let him go. "innocent until proven guilty" NOT "innocent until RAILROADED guilty" :thumbsup

Nothing is stopping you from moving there. :2 cents:

Get a grip.

Who needs Al Sharpton to divide when you are here?

There was a guy here in Colorado that just got released from prison last year after spending more than 10 years after being convicted of murder. Now the DA and the detective are being charged with perjury because they fabricated shit to get a conviction. In Texas and in your world he would be dead already. Yea...fuck logic.

Fortunately, we still have some rights in the United States and because of those rights it costs more money to execute than spend life in jail, so your Chinese wishful thinking would not apply.

thank you for solidifying my point..

i accept your apology and forgive you for being black.... :thumbsup

I do not know you, so will presume your argument is based on being ignorant. The only reason it costs more to execute them is because the legal system GUARANTEES them INFINITE opportunity to prove their innocence after being found guilty. The execution itself costs about $1.78

If they had INFINITE opportunity then no one would ever be executed. And you're calling others ignorant?

There is a lot of testimony recanted... who knows. I guess a systematic way to erratic killers is to kill them. Does 2 wrongs make a right?

The scary thing is its really not about justice its about politics and winning.

thank god it's just your opinion

Not my opinion, but fact:

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (CBS/AP) After wrongly locking up Timothy Masters for nearly 10 years, Larimer County has agreed to pay him $4.1 million to settle a federal lawsuit.

Masters was convicted in 1999 for the murder and sexual mutilation of Peggy Hettrick in Fort Collins, Colo. In 2008, a judge overturned the conviction after DNA evidence pointed towards another suspect. Masters, a former aircraft mechanic, was the first person freed from prison in Colorado because of DNA evidence.

In 1987, at age 15, Masters came under suspicion after he saw a body in a field but didn't report it to police. He was arrested 10 years later due to a psychological analysis of his drawings that investigators said pointed to Masters as the killer.

Prosecutors Blair and Gilmore were rebuked in 2008 by state attorney regulators. Both acknowledged they failed to ensure defense attorneys received several key pieces of information obtained by police that called the prosecution's case into question.

Masters' lawsuit claims detectives and prosecutors maliciously targeted him and destroyed or withheld evidence that could have cleared him. Claims against police and Fort Collins are pending.

"Tim has been basically destitute since they released him from prison without an apology," said his attorney David Lane. "This gives him a good chance to start putting this behind him."

Until the end of September I'm contractually obliged to have the same thoughts as ShellyCrash.

No no no, fuck logic and facts. Thats your opinion! :1orglaugh

No decent 2nd or 3rd world country has it either. In fact I'm pretty sure less than 10 countries in the entire planet have an active death penalty, including the likes of, I think, China, Iran and Saudi Arabia. That's nice company to keep.

Good riddance.

I want to see you talk when your wife and children get killed by some drugged up thug :2 cents:

Something tells me when there is any uncertainty about anything in cases such as this, we should err on the side of not convicting and sentencing to death. If 100 people had seen the guy shoot someone, that's one thing -- but this sounds sketchy.

BTW, the death penalty is giant waste and an antiquated concept. It doesn't deter anyone from committing murder, and it costs so much money keeping a death row inmate for years, and all of the court appeals, etc. We should try to get to the source of our problems, instead of putting band-aids on them. Invest in the education system, not prisons.

Sketchy? He shot two people in one day using SAME gun. 35 people saw it and its sketchy?

Why not bury him up to his neck and have people throw rocks at his head till he dies?

That's one of my all time favorite movies.

It was 9 people, not 35. 7 of those 9 have recanted their statement claiming they were coerced by police. 3 of the jurors also say they now believe he was not guilty. Another inmate confessed to the killing to another inmate but that was not admitted.

Bullshit

Racial composition of jury. LOL. 7 blackas and 5 whites. I guess they wanted to have all 12 black jurors.

I dont think killing them will bring the people killed back or make the pain less of them being gone.

Knowing that killer paid the price would make things just a bit better. Its called serving justice.

just so you know.. he pistol whipped a guy at burger king (maybe it was the manger) in front of his gf around the same time of the shooting of the cop...

they never changed their story that it was davis, but they were white and somehow became not credible to the defense and davi's supporters..

even the supreme court reviewed this case and decided that the decision was correct..

i dont know what else can be done..

i do believe that if he didnt kill a cop then they would have commuted the sentence to life, but rules are rules and when you kill a cop, you get the death penalty...

whether you like it or not, it makes people think twice before they kill a cop..

if it didnt work as a deterrent, there would be a lot more cop killings then there are... :2 cents:

Hopefully Mumia Abu-Jamal is next. Sick of seeing demonstrations and marches for that guy, he's guilty as all hell.

How very humanitarian of you. Doesn't the death penalty deter drugged up thugs murdering wives and children then?

:1orglaugh

:disgust

Life imprisonment is what I think..

unfortunately in some countries, the killers that get sentenced to Life imprisonment, stay free after 10 or 15 years. Probably because you have many social organizations fighting for the "HUMAN RIGHTS of the KILLERS"... Of course I hate that.. and i think that they must stay in Life imprisonment..

but DEATH PENALTY is quite retarded and NAZI, seriously...

The guy was caught red handed with a shoulder holster, a revolver, and spent cartridges in his revolver on him at the scene just as a cop gets shot. Let's just say for the sake of argument he wasn't the shooter, why the hell didn't his brother testify in his defense? What motive would the police have to frame this guy?
