I'm not sure when I changed my opinion on Capital Punishment. I think when I read what John Cooey did to little Jessica Lunsford. Maybe it was sooner....like when I saw the firefighter holding the baby in his arms after the Oklahoma City bombing. However, Edith Bunker has always expressed it better for me: During a debate at the Bunker dinner table: Archie: Go ahead, ask your mother. She believes in capital punishment.
Gloria: Do you Ma?
Edith: Well, sure.
Gloria: MA? !!!!
Edith: Well, as long as it ain't too severe.

What doesn't make sense is that a violent person like this gets 121 days in the county jail and someone who gets caught smoking a joint gets life in prison. I've had jury duty enough times to tell you; it depends on the type of judge & jury you get, and the info allowed into evidence. The type of people who would have dealt with this "problem" a few crimes ago would have been dismissed by the defense lawyer during jury selection. Jurors who make the final cut may not be told about prior crimes. Prince of Insufficient Light ~ Ruler of Heck

What does the reference to CSI and the shoes mean? Anybody out there that is a CSI fan know? Crime Scene Investigation....the forensic team pulls evidence off of shoes and clothing that the criminal wore at the crime scene. litebets feeling, PRICELESS!!!
