But since we do it anyway, might as well pick the better option, and since nobody seems to complain much about the same process being used on stray animals, lethal injection seems like the lesser of multiple evils. Maybe if I start hearing about mini-electric chairs in Humane Societies I might change my mind on that.

I wonder what is Humane?
The problem is that the head seemsaware, at times. Troublesome. But,death hurts.

I am in favour of the death penalty. It should be brought back in Australia. Better than having murderers and such studying for a uni degree.

Better than having murderers and such studying for a uni degree.I believe there is just too much room for error. Last year in my state they released someone after they had served more than ten years on their sentence he was innocent how do repay him for the time he spent in jail. Now just think if he was dead how could you repay his family

In the cases where ther's solid forensic evidence, I'm all for letting 'em fry.
How can one tell planted evidence from the real thing? When the police are out to get you, you're likely screwed.
Ex-narcotics detectives admit to planting drugs, lying in reportBy: William Kaempffer, Register Staff10/06/2007email this storyEmail to a friendprinter friendlyPrinter-friendlyTwo former New Haven narcotics detectives stood in court Friday, hours apart, and raised their right hands like they had many times before, but this time they weren't on the witness stand.Instead, Justen Kasperzyk, 35, pleaded guilty to planting drugs during a 2006 raid and Jose R. Silva, 36, to knowing about it and lying in a police report. Both face jail time when they are sentenced Jan. 4.AdvertisementMayor John DeStefano Jr. described their conduct as nothing short of "despicable" and not representative of the 400-plus officers on the city force.The two pleas are the first in the 15-month federal corruption case into the department's narcotics enforcement unit. Charges are still pending against the headline defendant, former Lt. William "Billy" White, the one-time head of the unit and 39-year member of the force, and three bail bondsmen who allegedly paid cops tens-of-thousands of dollars in kickbacks for capturing fugitives who jumped bond.
