Well that makes complete sense which I guess explains why we're not doing it. If you're for the death penalty then I think there are plenty of cases when it should be used and the measuring stick shoudl be sophistication. For example, the Lee Malvo case. If you're smart enough to plan and execute a series of murders of then you're adult enough to get the death penalty. Another case I heard about was a teen who hog tied and duct-taped up a girl and then threw her over a railroad bridge to her death. Durin the trial he had no remorse and explained that it didn't matter since he was too young to get the death penalty. I say, if there's a death penalty, he should get it. Now he's off death row ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:148873 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
