No, I'm not saying that at all, and I am NOT saying it is a pleasure. In fact you seem to be attributing that to me because of the popular view that proponents of the death penalty are blood thristy. What I am saying is that you argue one punishment is too harsh you also attack the very right to punish. If someone could be cleared of a capital crime after 10 years what about the hapless individual who has been imprisioned for 10 years? He may be alive, but there is a good chance their life is in tatters. So do we start scaling that back to? My point is that you're not going to find criminals who are going to confess. So even if you imprision them for life you have to do it forcefully. Or would you have our legal system turned into the honor system?
