It would also put an end to those people who say that the death sentence costs more than life imprisonment. Keeping people on death row for 20 or 30 years does no one any good. If there is some doubt, then give them life. Which in the USA does mean life. |

No provocation. This rich white man never spent a minute in jail and got away with it on some technicality or other. My Uncle and Aunt went over there for the 'trial' Broke both their hearts, but there you go. American justice, what a joke. |

| 1233102 | 2011-09-23 09:38:00 | This guy was guilty and deserves execution. It must make you feel really good to not have any doubts. Would be a different story if it was your head. At the time did you think Arthur Allen Thomas was guilty or innocent. No physical evidence and witnesses are known to be totally unreliable and several in this case have retracted their statement so it makes for an extremely dodgy conviction. |

Hello he had just fired his revolver at a passing car injuring a person before killing the polizei, In Singapore this alone is more than enough for mandatory execution. He is guilty as night follows day. |

Once again "At the time did you think Arthur Allen Thomas was guilty or innocent." |

| 1233106 | 2011-09-24 01:05:00 | Depends on your definition of "just". There are 2 people likely to have shot the Policeman, Troy Davis or Sylvester "Redd" Coles. Only one of that pair was also on the scene of another shooting where a shot was fired at Darrell Collins. Sylvester "Redd" Coles became a prosecution witness, he probably should have been tried as an accomplice. | PaulD (232) | ||
