Jure, it was an excellent post I couldn't agree more with most of it. I just want to argue that what instinctively feels right maybe isn't.
mkrizan86:I would describe myself as (very) liberal democrat, with some deviations (for instance, I would fully support the death penalty for child molesters, medieval style).
Others may want to add terrorists, then mass murderers, then....... you just end up with a death penalty. The worst crimes often carry the biggest risk of an unsafe conviction too, something like: The heinousness of the facts alone can make it more likely that the jury will ignore reasonable doubts and return a guilty verdict. Releasing a defendant who is probably guilty (but not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt) of a brutal slaying is much more difficult than releasing someone who is probably guilty of only a misdemeanor.
I think we (Countries) should make sure we have the ability to make sure these people, when caught, are never a danger to children again without resorting to killing.
On a happier note:
