People wrongly convicted whose balls you've already cut off when you find out they're innocent. What about these women here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/wiltshire/3306049.stm. Which parts of their bodies would you cut off?
-- Cheers, Bob ======== How come you guys keep identifying with the innocent, instead of with the literally tons of non-innocent? More people are convicted who are guilty than innocent (of the crime charged). Personally, I have zero tolerance for pedophilia. And I am not talking about someone just photographing kids. Or someone being mistaken for a pedophile who photographs kids. Someone who actually commits physical acts. Proven. It does happen. And it happens a lot. Maybe a lot more than people want to admit. Maybe this is a male/female thing or a parent/non-parent thing. Although not a parent, personally, I identify with parents. And I know there really are evil people in the world (well, seriously sick, but it amounts to the same thing). Oh, well, tired of this discussion. Someone can argue with me, but I am out of it now. Just puzzling to me that people keep identifying with the innocent. I think DNA is great and I am glad it is being used now to free truly innocents from old cases. Not being done fast enough and wide enough, but it is happening. But the US criminal justice system (except for people in jail for drugs which I think should not be a crime) is not 100% wrong all the time. I suspect it's more in the range of 10-20% wrong. Hard to know, really. But that leaves 80-90% right. Probably even higher than that. We have too many people in jail, yes, but that is mainly drug related. Marnie aka Doe
