And yes, it is not always easy to find who is the murderer. I mean actually finding him, not just putting some guy into the jail. And after finding him; sentencing him in the court.

How a so called "weak case" is defined matters most. The point I am making here is that today our biggest problem is that strong cases are flipped to appear as "weak cases" because of things like assuming evidence was tampered with because some CI trustee wasn't the only one who touched said evidence. That is just one example of the kind of retarded that has infiltrated American Law.
It's a rare case that the prosecutor will put someone in front of a Jury who doesn't deserve to be sentence for the crime in question. Since crime in America is so bad there are many instances where the prosecutors only option is to put a known murder on trial for drug related crimes. That is one reason why you will not see the DOJ releasing all the so called, "non-violent" drug convicts. Many were locked up for one crime, but have a history of others that are unsolved.
Lastly the sentencing in America has completely failed. I don't give two hoots and a nut if you think passive punishments work better; you're wrong! Here in America people used to be severely punished. The death penalty was nearly instant. If you were convicted of a crime and sentences to be executed, you were read your last rights and given a chance to say one last word before they tied a noose around you neck right there in the courtroom and let the floor drop below you feet so you would hang and die right then and there. Just think about that for a second. Murders were executed within minutes of being sentenced. Go get a history book of crime statistics and look at the murder rates throughout American pre-1900; less that 50 per year. Today murders spend their entire life on death row in some states, but most are released after 5-7 years and allowed to live in society again.
I will never agree with any punishment for murder besides execution and swiftly at that. I would vote to go back to the pre-1900 styles of handling those kinda BS humans too.
