Actually Toberlone, knowing he was beaten and raped by another inmate is what made it feel like justice.

Precisely, being alive in jail is a million times worse than being dead.

I understand why some people do not support the death penalty. I wish we lived in a world that it wasn't needed. But as long as we do need to use it, there has to be a better way of making sure that what happened in Texas (and for that fact in other states as well) never happens again.

That's my point. Nothing else.

You seem to have a different definition of the word "need" than I do. There few advantages to the death penalty, not even in monetary terms because so much is spent on appeals and people can be on death row for years (and of course this case already shows that fast tracking thing isn't good idea either). You can't stop human error, there will always be some innocent people sent to jail. Even with DNA evidence you can still get errors in how it is interpreted and confessions can be forced. The best thing to do is administer a punishment that isn't irreversable.

My definition of need is self explanatory when it comes to this issue. Yours on the other hand...Well, i dunno Toberlone.

Then Mod is going to say 2 moderates and 1 conservative.

How about 1 left of center and 2 right of center then?
