Actually, that is horrible. It makes you wonder how high the estimated number of unknown cases must be. Who knows how many innocent people have been killed?

But at the same time some men, who are guilty and mocking about what they did sit on death row for years, abusing the system with stupid appeals.
For instance, we all heard of Megans law in America?
It is a sexual offender registry, named after Megan Kanka was killed and mollested by a man. He was given the death penalty, NJ then abolished the death penalty, so this scum lives.

I looked him up on the NJDOC site, creepy looking freak.

Not sure why his looks matter but those abuses of the system are their right to do. Same right you would have in that case. I bet you would not complain then?
On top comes a huge psycholical aspect for people on death row. Mostly, they don't accept the truth and believe in they are not gulty until the very last moment, even if they know the truth. I honestly must say - I can't blame them. It is an extreme situation one must deal with. I see why the brain simply
locks down at some point, telling fairytales to itself.
(I do not say I feel sorry for them but I think I understand why that happens)

My money pays to incarcerate this scum. It is clearly obvious to all of us he is useless to this society, so why do we have to keep them? It is cruel and unusual punishment to the citizenry to let them live.

You pay
more for someone on death row, than for someone who got a life sentence without parole.

We as a country are getting ready to starve grandma to pay pay the bills, but we support crap like this guy for life.

Two totally different matters. One thing has nothing to do with the other. Again, it is even cheaper this way.
Link does not work for me. I assume it is about someone who should get CP but
only got a life sentence?
If you ask prisoners who where sentenced for life in prison, without parole, they tell you this is worse than death row. If you want to punish someone, you won't do so by killing him. Let him think about what he has done for the rest of his life.
