Re: Death Penalty Poll
This is one of the main reasons I oppose it. I remember about a year ago O'Reilly had Mark Furhman on his show plugging his new book, which was about Oklahoma's death row inmates. Basically through his research, and with the help of several lawyers, they reviewed all of the cases for each current death row inmate and found that an obscene number of people were wrongly convicted, or with faulty evidence. Because of his research, OK stopped doing capital punishment(not sure if thats changed).
To me, the mere thought that an innocent man might be put to death scares the crap out of me, and because of the death penalty, and the finality of it, this has more than likely happened.
