By supporting the death penalty, people are supporting their own wrongful conviction and execution. Think about it. We know that no justice system is perfect. We know that there have been cases in the past where there was questionable evidence that lead to a guilty verdict (the black man in Texas most recently, can't remember his name, wasn't publcized much in Canada). We know that while you are alive you can more actively campaign for your freedom, when you're dead, you're done, and most of the support (like that we see for Mumia) will dry up.

Basically, by supporting the death penalty you have to accept the fact that there is a possibility, a remote one, but still: that you or somoeone close to you will simply be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and that you may die for it.

If Canada had the death penalty two innocent men would be dead: David Milgaard and Guy-Paul Morain. These were two men who were victims of being in the wrong place, a police department with no leads and a furious public and media on their backs, desperate to find a murderer. And please don't discount this point because it's the "Canadian legal system," please, it is just as good as any we have, all are falable.

I think that is easily the most horrible thing about this. Somewhere along the line, in order to satisfy a national bloodlust, innocent human beings have been put to death.

Anyone who believes that all those convicted and that have died from executions since they began are guilty, are being rather naive . . .

Just thought I'd throw that in there . . .
