Of course we do. Created by humans, run by humans, for humans. Bound to be flawed. Knowing it would be flawed, it was built to be flawed in favor of the accused and even the convicted, rather than risk even worse flawed. Add to that those who would rather let a killer live than become killers to kill him. They will do whatever they can to protect him. And there are the ones who profess to believe only God is allowed to judge people -- which tends toward a Not Guilty verdict even when there was only the one person with the victim when he was beat to death. (Maybe next time...) If people wanting to commit crimes believed they would be caught and punished, many crimes which DO happen, wouldn't happen. If they actually were caught and punished, they wouldn't be free to commit many other crimes. David for safer streets and homes REGARDING:

I guess you haven't seen any of the HUNDREDS of cases that come on the news every year about someone being exonerated from prison and freed because corruption, faulty evidence and just plain errors. The very reason we are cautious with how we administer the ultimate penalty is because our justice system is very flawed . . . it has major issues from top to bottom. Moreover, many of those being executed now come from an era before video cameras & DNA testing where small town cops, judges and prosecutors routinely looked the other way and embellished the truth . . . . . . not that much of that is so different now!

"Moody, who had attended law school, had a grudge against the legal system because the 11th Circuit refused to overturn a 1972 pipe-bomb possession conviction that prevented him from practicing law. Authorities said Moody mailed out a total of four package bombs in December 1989. A device linked to Moody killed Robert E. Robinson, a black civil rights attorney from Savannah, Georgia. Two other mail bombs were later intercepted and defused, including one at an NAACP office in Jacksonville, Florida. Authorities said those bombs were meant to make investigators think the crimes were racially motivated." For those curious about what his issue with the judge was…

Don't like it? Hey, nobody FORCED you to commit a crime worthy of dispatch in this way. I would LIMIT appeals to just 2 that can only b e filed in the first 12 months, THEN...the ROPE OR THE BULLET, JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED...THE VICTIMS HAVE(HAD) RIGHTS...AND THEY WERE DISRESPECTED, I BELIEVE IN RECIPROCITY.
