31. Or, how about, not be on a death penalty jury.
Edited on Wed Sep-21-11 11:02 PM by Pithlet
I don't buy this crap about duty. No, you don't have to be a cog in the system that wants to systematically kill people who may possibly be innocent and they don't care (look up SCOTUS ruling on this if you don't believe me). No, you don't have to participate in a system as a participant that actively makes the decision when they t may not even make you privy to all the knowledge of the case, as frequently happens. You don't have to make the decision to send someone to their death and then find out later some info that makes you regret. And if that happens, I won't feel sorry for you. I don't care if anyone thinks that's harsh. The death penalty needs to go. I'd like to know why I should feel sorry for anyone who actively participates in it and then regrets it? Sorry. Not going to.
