Default yet another reason to why I'm against death penalty

Don't know if they have death penalty in South Korea. If it had happen in countries where there is, he would most likely got such a verdict.

20 years in prison, for something he hadn't done

I would agree with a death penalty. But I dont, because we have a system of law that can be used to send the innocent to their death.

I have no problem with executing those who deserve it but I have no faith in the Government to make that determination with any degree of accuracy.

If the justice was 150 % perfect I would be for Death penalty.

Not so long ago I saw a rerun of a double episode from War Crime in this episodes, a man god a death sentence and was hanged in some English prison, first some years later they found the man who had committed all these murder.

It became the famous 10 Rillington Place

I don't have a problem with the concept of the death penalty, but I do have serious problems with how it is implemented.



If I were on a jury and the only evidence was human testimony, I would have a hard time deciding on the death penalty. To me, the death penalty requires more than beyone reasonable doubt. It should be almost no doubt based on objective evidence.

Going a little off topic, but the red thread will still be there

I don't know what you would call it. I would say it's
A case of perfect circumstances
After I turned my computer of I changed channel to see the news at night before bed.
And the second issue was a story about an old case from the 80's
Which was arson, which later became known as the Hotel Hafnia fire

Quote:
HILLEROED, Denmark -- A 40-year-old pyromanic was committed to mental care for life Wednesday for starting a 1973 hotel fire in Copenhagen that killed 35 people, including 20 Americans.
https://www.upi.com/Archives/1989/01...2807601102800/

Now what's so special with this case and the case from South korea ?

Bad police work

A group of Danish journalist have done a In depth research in the case
and here what they had discovered.

The man who got this sentence, was retarded, his mental age was 8.
He went through more than 90 interrogation without any on his side to help him, not a lawyer no one.
This research also showed the police who interrogated him, gave him leading questions.

I can't imagine what guilt we must have felt if he had got a death sentence and decades later we discover he was not-guilty.
