Ok ...Hanging & Capital punishment

[joe-90]

You ain't getting it mate. Juries won't convict when faced with reasonable doubt in case they get it wrong and an innocent man gets hanged, ergo, they let murderers off to murder again. If anything the murder rate would RISE.

Pure speculation joseph. If the evidence is strong enough there will be convictions. If it isn't there won't, and nor should there be.

Which means that more murderers walk free. Well done. You've proved my point.

As it stands guilt has to be proved beyond reasonable doubt. So what is your point.

 

[joe-90]

A jury won't find guilt if there is ANY doubt at all - so murderers walk free.

The last man hanged was later pardoned. If he'd been imprisoned he could then have been released.

That's my point boyo.

Ah, he was probably a cnt anyway.
