Broken Cog posted:What's the requirement for ending up on death row anyway? A lot of these people seem to have been found guilty of one or two murders, which, while horrible, seems excessive to sentence them to death for. Quite a few of them also seem to have been crimes of passion which historically have a very low reoffending rate. A Capital Murder is a murder that is punishable by death. It usually means murder: Of a Child Of a Police Officer (or firefighter) Committed during the commission of another felony, like burglary there are other forms of capital murder, but these are what you're seeing on here.

"On the morning of November 29, 1975, tragedy struck. Henry Martinez Porter of San Antonio, 43, shot Officer Henry Paul Mailloux, 28, after officer Mailloux had asked Martinez to pull his car over. Martinez was shot in the side during the struggle and then shot Mailloux claiming that he pulled the trigger in self-defense. Martinez claimed that Mailloux said that he was going to kill him for the robberies that had taken place in that area."

420DD Butts posted:What purpose does it serve? If you can answer that in a satisfactory way, then I would relent my anti-retribution stance. But I have yet to encounter anyone who can describe to me the good to be found in capital punishment in a way that doesn't seek to rely entirely on pathos and hypotheticals. Some would argue (not me, of course) that each and every government function is some extension of the will of the people, and if the will of the people is retribution, then government exaction of the same is proper.

What about the people who say, "The Willingham story isn't proof that the system of Capital Punishment needs to go away, just that the people or groups who made such a tragic mistake should be held accountable."?

Not that I agree with these people, but it seems that what they're trying to say, between mouthfuls of Flamin' Hot Cheetos is: "Why should we argue the merits of a societal function only on whether it might ever fail?" I think the analogy they're grasping for is something akin to, "Road construction projects often fail, and have caused deaths in America, but we only decide whether to build them based on whether they represent the will of the people."

Mornacale posted:The real problem is an unwillingness or inability to recognize that just because people were discussing one problematic aspect of the death penalty does not mean that there aren't multiple factors at work in determining what forms of punishment are appropriate. Almost no public policy has a downside so severe that no conceivable benefit would outweigh it, so any condemnation of policy necessarily implies "and it has no benefits that offset these drawbacks"; acting like this implication is not there reeks of being willfully obtuse. Barlow posted:Though I get almost everyone here is opposed to the death penalty (and I I find myself in wholehearted agreement with them) are there any good arguments that I'm unaware of that can be made for it? Deterrence doesn't seem to be backed up by studies and having the state kill is vastly more expensive than life in prison. Is there any case to be made for it except on emotional grounds? I think the point people try to make in support of the Death Penalty is that it its not dependent on its utilitarianism to be proper. People would argue that lots of social programs have no utilitarian benefit, but are instead a function of a moral imperative, agreed upon by popular vote of the people of that State. They are trying to say, "because the people of the State of Texas believe capital punishment to be morally proper, the functional efficacy of it is not relevant."

Lord forgive me for my sins because here I come. Let's go, Warden."
