David Milgaard is a cdn who spent something like 20 years in jail for a murder he didnt commit and was only released recently. What would happen if he was executed? While you cant give him back those 20 years, its better than saying "Oops, Im sorry" to his family after you put him to death. To those that support the concept of an eye for an eye, what do you do at that point? Execute the judge, prosecutor and jury that sentenced an innocent man to die?

good point, but what about all of the people who shot and killed someone but got off scott free due to some mess up within the system?(im saying this with physical proof) what about thier famlies? 2 people were there and only one can tell you what happened. It seems to me that the victims family is along for the ride and have no say what so ever as far as convitction or what they even think of the entire thing.
on top of that, this discusting thing that we call a judicial system is full of flaws, problems, and illeterate, dumb people running the show.
so a person gets picked for jury dutiy, so what, like they give a rats ass about the victim and his or her family. all they care about is getting home and going about with thier daily lives.
i guess ill say it now, if you murdred/manshaughter/or what ever else to kill a person you yourself should be punnished in the same way (if not more horrible) then the person/persons you killed.
