Death Penalty

[the_rev]

Before membres of this phorum, I Edward Lee recant my position on the death penalty.

Before I supported the death penalty in the case there was biological, balistical or DNA evidence.

However, today in Adv. Bio, we are learning about Forensics, and we watched a movie on Project Innocence. A project where people's trials are re-tried thorugh scientific data.

Their was one guy which DNA 95 percent tile linked him to the crime, however after further review, his DNA did not match at all.

It is then, with this reason, before the members of this phorum, with God as my witness, I recant my past position on the death penalty. A person behind bars in a secure prison, is no harm to us as people of God.

Peace of Christ,

Eddie

lee? are you korean perchance?

praise God! did you know it costs more to administer the death penalty than it does to have someone spend life in prison? so there's really no logical explanation except to make space. and it's a very sad time in humanity when someone has to die for logistics.

Before members of this phorum, I PSPX hereby reaffirm my position on the death penalty (namely, that it is a morally permissable form of punishment).

I'm in favour of the death penalty hinging on two things: 1) [b]concrete[/b] evidence 2) the person cannot be contained behind bars.

Oh wait, that never happens.

As a forensic scientist, allow me to say that a 95 percentile DNA match is garbage. GARBAGE!!

I stand, to some degree, with popestpiusx. The death penalty is a morally permissible avenue of punishment.

The death penalty is a part of the natural moral law and no power on earth can declare its use to be illicit.

Murders and assaults can and do happen in prison. People convicted of murder tend to be the ones doing the murdering and assaulting...

Apotheoun just stated it. For further clarification look in the apologetics section.

that's intersesting, that is my brothers middle name, it's pretty rare

Also, I hate the death penalty. I think that the US should join the rest of the civilized world and abolish it

yayyy

maybe not illicit, but isn't it supposed to be not used unless there is a DIRE reason? i'm inclined to think of st alessandro, who raped and murdered st maria goretti...italy doesn't have a death penalty so he was in prison, and st maria goretti came to him and forgave him. he turned his life around and became a saint. many people are capable of that change...i know the Church doesn't outlaw it but doesn't it also not usually advocate its use?
