I am opposed to the death penalty in all cases.
The risk of killing an innocent person is too great.
In Canada we have had David Milgarde found innocent after doing 22 years, Donald French and Paul Moran proven innocent after doing more than 5.
Currently we have Robert Baltovich waiting for the results of his appeal. He is a convicted murderer who is free on bail. ***Free on bail**** that is how bad the case against him is, yet he was convicted.
My grandmother's brother, Wilbur Coffin was hanged in 1955. He was convicted on circumstancial evidence of killing two American hunters in New Brunswick. He, or rather his family, was guilty of hiring a bad lawyer. His case has been the subject of books and television documenteries.
I don't have US cases to cite, other than Hurricane Carter.
How do you correct the wrong of executing an innocent person?
