I have always been against the death penalty. The chance that an innocent man or woman may get put to death is a deal breaker for me.

I know a man who is in prison for life, placed there for the torture and murder of a little girl. I am CONVINCED that he DID NOT do this. I know that this person's fear of the death penalty was the absolute only reason he plead guilty to a crime he did not commit. Because he plead guilty, the real asshole is still out there and there is a great chance that asshole committed more murders. This is another reason I have for being against the death penalty.

(btw: I think Tim Duncan, was the real murderer of the little girl my friend is in prison for. The resemblance and MO fit and he lived within a few miles of that crime at the very time it took place)
