Bill O'Rights · 05-08-2003, 07:22 AM

I will say this. There was a time, not all that long ago, when I was a major proponent of the Death Penalty. Then I read an article in Time Magazine, and have since seen the same story on 20/20, about a Medical Examiner in Boston, I believe it was, that would skew the results of her examination of evidence toward the prosecution. Since this discovery, dozens of "guilty" defendants have been set free as they were cleared of their crimes by the "new" evidence. It was to late for several that were already given the ultimate punishment. After that, I changed my mind. I am now against the Death Penalty, and favor Life Imprisonment with no (read absolutely no) chance of parole.
