 On the Death Penalty 09 25 2020

 One of the arguments against the death penalty seems to be that the person might not be guilty after all?  That new evidence could come forth?

What does that really mean?  It means that our Government is expressing a lack of confidence in the professional legal integrity of our Judicial System!

Yes that is exactly what is implied by that.  But you are one of those people who read things like this and shake your head in disbelief?  Scoff at this as nonsense?

 But what is the point?  The point is if we don't have the professional legal integrity in our judicial system nationwide today to not wrongly convict an individual???...Then it is a very sad statement isn't it?

It also implies that it is okay for an acceptable level of corruption to exist in our countries government?

I am not one for reading this and someone saying, he means "Free all the prisoners!!! Yippee, he means free all the prisoners!!! Yippee!!" 

What I am saying is if you get the Death Penalty in place you are going to take the corruption out of our nation?

Now lets say that you do have a corrupt judge on an inept one.  They preside while someone is wrongly convicted...perhaps even complacent with it.  When you have that death penalty I believe that is the type of person whose conscience might eventually catch up with them.  And they leave the bench or worse/better?

But the point here again is, if you can't convict someone to the death penalty...if you don't even have the confidence in your own ability to do that without wrongly convicting...why are you as an individual in the Judicial System whatsoever in any means?  If you don't have that confidence then how can your preside on that bench and convict anyone with regard to anything via the sentence be prison time or lifetime bankrupting fine?

And here we go.  The crux of it.  If you don't have the conscience to wield the death penalty how can you assert that you have the correct conscience to send someone to prison for 10 years or again, lifetime bankrupting fine?  In other words, "How come that doesn't bother you?"

And who among us is it that likes to live with a scatterbrained mind like that?  Who among us is it that cares very little how their perceived actions are thought of as being incongruous?

I can see that crooked winos finger shaking already.  Spouting something he or she believes that they learned in a foreign culture religion, "Who are you to judge?"  To which the response from the public should be, "Who are you to tell me to shut up?"  What I am getting at here with this paragraph or where I am trying to go with it is this.  That glass of wine at night and the shrewdness forgets absolutely anything that is conscience related!  And she/he also wants to state in as deep a manly voice as she can muster? "You ain't a man the way you think!  You ain't a man you non drinking sissy."

To which I reply, "You are not a Judge and never should have been one."
