SCO Asks to Amend Complaint in Novell Litigation (Groklaw)SCO Asks to Amend Complaint in Novell Litigation (Groklaw)Posted Jan 4, 2006 17:28 UTC (Wed) by bk (guest, #25617)In reply to: SCO Asks to Amend Complaint in Novell Litigation (Groklaw) by ekj Parent article: SCO Asks to Amend Complaint in Novell Litigation (Groklaw)
With all due respect, the US justice system has far worse problems than this silly SCO civil litigation. Innocent people condemned to death, prisoners executed by untrained prison staff, overcrowding, etc. There are now more people imprisoned in the US (as a percentage of population) than any other country on earth, including China.

ĦAnd *GUILTY* people condemned to death!
> prisoners executed by untrained prison staff
This very comment is sick. It is "prisoners executed" that is the problem; would it dissappear if the staff received some hands-on training?

What bothers me is when we get State Governors saying "I'm not going to sign any more death warrants, because events have proven that half the warrants I've been asked to sign in the past were for innocent people"!
Cheers,
SCO Asks to Amend Complaint in Novell Litigation (Groklaw) Posted Jan 5, 2006 15:09 UTC (Thu) by vmole (subscriber, #111) [Link] So it's okay with you if half the people we execute are innocent? Not that I believe the number is anywhere near half, but I also don't believe the state should be executing anyone. The fact that some number of them are innocent just makes it worse.
SCO Asks to Amend Complaint in Novell Litigation (Groklaw) Posted Jan 6, 2006 8:29 UTC (Fri) by Wol (guest, #4433) [Link] No. It bothers me that 1 in 2 people slated for execution shouldn't be.
That to my mind is a VERY good reason for not having the death penalty.
I'm not opposed to the death penalty in principle. I am opposed to its use in practice if the judicial system is so badly flawed as to get it wrong 50% of the time!
Cheers,
