Does anyone know what's going on around the Lexington Park Post Office?

No you can’t but God can ultimately punish the right ones.

How will a fairy tale punish someone?

 

[mAlice]

I find it savagely cruel, barbaric and unchristian.

Which? Murder or justice?

 

[BadGirl]

Yes, it is. So tell me why do we allow some of our State governments to MURDER.

You don't murder murderers, you PUNISH them.. and punishment should fit the crime.. if you savagely kill a family, or kill someone in cold blood. living out your life with heat, electric, three meals a day, AC, no responsibilities to care for yourself or for any of your family, no job, free time to go to school, learn a trade, play basketball, or just sit around all day and watch TV.. that's not punishment, most of us would call THAT a vacation.

But if you desire, maybe you can petition a court so when one or more of these convicted killers come out on probation and have no place to go, they can come live with you and your family.

That is a great idea! Parole and Probation could really use some places like that to dump them off at, I mean.... a place like that for them to live.

And let's say the attorney gets him off completely or with a very light sentence. Would you be pleased?

Please don’t construe my admission that I would hire an attorney for my child (if they ever needed one) with attempting to minimize or condone the crime for which they might receive a death sentence for.

I wasn't. I just asked a simple question.

So you would just hire the Attorney for them, and not go after the best in hopes to get them off?

 

[Masey]

Dont you think there would be alot more Muder's if there was no DP. YES...."Ahh #### on it, if I kill someone I go to jail and get out in 10-20"

I like to think that the DP keeps the Murder's down a bit.

Taking a life is wrong, it is illegal and immoral.......If someone killed my son, I would see that person fry and not think twice about it!

People like you are the reason why people in prision have it so good.

Please, the death penalty is not a deterrent to people killing - the majority of murders are committed in moments when emotion overcomes reason or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

 

[Masey]

I wasn't. I just asked a simple question.

If I knew they were guilty, I would not be pleased if they got off scot-free. However, if the attorney got their sentenced reduced to life-in-prison vs. the death penalty, then yes, I would be pleased.

Emotion is the reason for all Murder. Someone pissed someone off, someone broke up with someone, blah blah blah.
What your talking about are Crimes Of Passion ( Hubby comes home finds wife in bed with brother, kills them both right there)

To Murder someone your emotions have to overcome your reason, if it didnt then you wouldnt do it.

There are alot more azz holes killing people for stupid azz reasons then there are Crimes Of Passion, But all murder comes from emotion.

It could be if it was used. Last time it was used in Maryland was November 1998. There are 12 on Maryland's death row three of which have been there for 22 years. If they haven't been cleared by now why are they still sitting there?

 

[Somdmommy]

If I knew they were guilty, I would not be pleased if they got off scot-free. However, if the attorney got their sentenced reduced to life-in-prison vs. the death penalty, then yes, I would be pleased.

Now look at it from the other side, How would you feel if your were the victims parents, husband or child? Life in prision does not always mean LIFE.

What if you were in a state that didn't have the death penalty? Would you still hire the lawyer?

Ohhh good one!

 

[Masey]

What if you were in a state that didn't have the death penalty? Would you still hire the lawyer?

Honestly, I don't know... and it would also depend upon the circumstances involved. If it was somthing like this then, yes, I would consider hiring an attorney.

Thats not Murder, They got into a fight...Dude fell down the stairs and had a heart attack. Were talking about Murder, not Assault.

Why do people sit on death row for so long? I never understood that.

So you'd rather have said family member rot in prison for the rest of their miserable life rather than get it over with quickly?
