frank ryan Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Ah - key here - a different response to the press. Does the press always lead you so easily? As for Brewer's fate, he was a truly vile individual. If any murderer has ever deserved execution, or society ever been better rid of a dangerous animal masquerading as a human being, the list above Brewer isn't very long. you still haven't said whether you think a tiny shadow of doubt should prevent an execution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bojangles Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Better men than criminals are killed in wars. If you think the taking of life is the worst sin mankind can commit then you must be totally against war of any kind.... justified or not.... correct?I'm looking forward to his answer for this.

ANGELFIRE1 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hard to understand why a man found guilty and then executed in Texas would cause so many to vent their spleen on a Sheffield webby site. There seems to be enough problems around Sheffield without having to look across the Atlantic to find some. Regards Angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 How can I have condemned his execution when I've never heard of him? That said, I condemn all judicial killing. Does anyone read anything I type or am I wasting my time. Laurence brewer on this thread page three, chained a black guy to a pick up and drove round until he was dead in 1998.

I don't understand the point - the question is whether a man should have been put to death in the face of compelling evidence of his innocence.

Mr Bojangles Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 you still haven't said whether you think a tiny shadow of doubt should prevent an executionThere will always be some element of 'tiny shadow'. Nothing is absolute. I'm happy that very, very few people end up in a crown court that are not completely guilty - my only concern is that some are not convicted.

I take it that the fact that the most powerful nation on earth is killing its own citizens on very shaky evidence doesn't trouble you? Have you ever called for criminals to be executed? Bothered about innocent people riding the needle? No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank ryan Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I'm looking forward to his answer for this. I'm looking forward to your answer to the basic question of whether an execution should proceed in the face of doubt about guilt. I presume we aren't going to get one, cos the only possible answer is 'no of course it shouldn't' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
