Would DNA solve our problems? Is the DNA handled by a human? Said human could never tamper with such evidence, could they (Which has occured with a severe case in one state alone)? What about certain groups that tend to get punished more with the death penalty for the same crime? I don't mean that there are more of one group than another on death row, I mean percentage wise, for the same crime, certain groups end up getting punished more.

They are factins trying to make it a Federal law that the murder of anyone under 12 would result in the death penalty.
I agree, there can be mitigating circumstances and one punishment doesn't fit all. In SOME cases, I could accept hard-HARD labor (think worse than a chain gang) scientific experimentation (got that from Hubby) anything that would allow something of benefit to come out of their miserable life. Never EVER a chance of parole. I know this sound blood thirsty when the truth is I'm very tenderhearted in most aspects.
lifesaver-As a poli sci major with a minor in clutural anthropology, I see the uS eventually eliminating it, as a society growes older, it tends to liberalize, and that is one of the things that tends to go.... I have to SADLY agree with you on this point.
BTW-Where is KA Billy??? Just thought I'd throw that in.
