Re: Death penalty
Under the law, an eye for and eye and life for a life still had to be witnessed by two or three witness before it was supposed to be put into effect. While the death penalty sounds good, it takes a lot to prove one did the crime.
How many innocent people died at the hands of lynch mobs, because someone said they did something they did not do.
I heard a judge just last week say that in America the founding fathers put together our judicial system the way they did because, they felt it was better that a person that was guilty go free, than one person that was not guilty should be sentenced. And they were not even considering the death penalty at the time.
