| 557407 | 2007-06-10 05:57:00 | Whipped a fair part of your excellent explanation out . Thank you for your comments . What happens with the death penalty in any State? States are at liberty to execute capitol criminals as they see fit . . but there's a lot of controversy over that . Civil libertarians say that death is too painful . . no matter what technique is used . These people also forget how painful it was for the victims to die too . John Birchers (the other extreme) say that death penalties are not supposed to be comfortable and coddle the committee . Most states still have the death penalty on the books, and don't forget that the Federal Govt does too . If the criminal goes to a state with the death penalty . . . actually the chances of it being carried out before the criminal expires of natural causes is pretty remote . If the criminal is in a non-death penalty state or jurisdiction . . he will be out of prison once he is "rehabilitated" even if he killed 20 or more people . Most federal death sentences are not carried out as the appeals and counter suits and evidential sub-trials go on long after the pronouncement of execution is handed down . That again is the situation where the prisoner has a better chance of living to a ripe old age and never being executed . . . but dying of natural causes . We also have the "Three strikes law" in California . . . some other states have it too . . but I don't know which ones at the moment . |

| 557408 | 2007-06-10 06:00:00 | I have never understood why, in the case of otherwise unresolvable situations (no witnesses other than the accused) the use of truth drugs has not been authorised . Billy 8-{) :xmouth: Here's why: If the person involved in the crime is placed into a drugged state, he is not then cognizant of his civil rights . One can not be found guilty if they don't understand their right to refuse to answer . . . . and refusal under those conditions is not a viable option to the person charged . |
