ORIGINAL: Musicmystery Two points. First, this comes down to whether you want to live in a country with a criminal justice system or one with summary execution without trial. Second, you'll find the economic argument doesn't hold up. We could save a fortune by substituting life in prison for the death penalty. It's far, far more inexpensive. Check it out. And yes, we should do that for any age. What say we have the trial first. If the boy is innocent, for his sake, I hope he's found that way and has all the mental health treatment for having been through this issue that he needs. If he's guilty and found as such, may he rot in hell. In such a case though, I doubt he'll find a trial and jury of his peers. I love this justice system because it is a justice system. And I am allowed to have my opinion of the case give the information readily available. There's a reason (beyond not being in the state) that I would not be selected for the jury and would immediately make where I stand known because of that. I would not be a good candidate for any murder or rape and mutilation trial because of my own feelings. I know this. And thank God and this country's justice system for that. Just because I feel a certain way about this case doesn't mean that I don't think the kid should get a fair trial in court. I think far too few people understand a situation when someone feels a certain way about the information given and the over all process of understanding and judging that situation. I feel a certain way about this case...I also think the justice system, while flawed, is the best chance of catching the criminal in this case. No matter what, I still wouldn't want anyone in that family living near me.
