    US it’s significantly more expensive to put someone to death than it is to imprison them for life

    because of the appeals process. maybe if you guys had an actual functioning justice system over there that didnt convict and sentence people to death because of their skin colour things would be different, but as it stands, THAT is why its more expensive.

    No-one hear is arguing over the actual guilt of this lady. A death sentence isnt going to be accidently put on the wrong person. Will she appeal? probably. She can do the same for life in prison too. Its gonna cost a lot no matter what.

    In the end she is a worthless, valueless monster the world would be better for if she wasnt consuming oxygen and resources, although pretty sure the death penalty isnt a thing in the UK anyway so the point is moot

            Eg, he’s right about it being racist AF over here. Shit, we onced sentenced 3 kids to death because a child had been murdered and those 3 kids lived near the place where it happened, listened to dark music and made everyone feel uncomfortable. Google “west Memphis 3”, we didn’t actually end up murdering any of them but it wasn’t for lack of trying.

              It’s his overall objective in the thread that’s the problem. His problem is also not my problem. I’m perfectly content to laugh while he seethes.
