O/T What exactly is a life sentence?

“An exchange with you is a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent”

Sounds like a John2 comment, coincidentally of course

Grist I read straight through it hence why I didn't reply to him/him. Having weighed him/him up for long enough, I've decided this guy has a problem.

Also noticed yesterday where by pure chance, him/him were both on at the same time having an indifference. How do they manage that mid afternoon? You couldn't get the odds on it.

Also, have you noticed how long the replies are?

Indeed, almost pre prepped as they come back in no time at all. Well he/he are a copy and paste wizard.

Mistakes happen, and your question was how many on death row were completely innocent, to which my reply was very few

...exactly and there is the rub... who knows how many others are wrongly convicted or have died wrongly on death row...

Probably a less amount than the ones who've been "rehabilitated" and released to rape and kill again.

Likewise, if something should happen to one of your loved ones, you would clearly just take it and maybe even visit the offender. Sh1t happens eh?

Isn't it a sentence given to cold blooded killers, like the Ripper to give the impression that our society is a civilized and caring one?
Only if you've had a close relative, friend murdered will you know if you are for or against capital punishment.

Why? I look at people like Huntley, Bellfield, Hindley and Brady (too late now though) and think why are they still breathing?


Oops, now you've done it Jocks, you've drawn me out on the subject and now you'll have the you know who brigade on mi back

some discontented souls may say that a life sentence is marriage.....(normally out of earshot of their spouses)...
