Yep.:thumb:
I love the stories or docudramas you see about guys being on death row for 10-25 years.:cuss:

yea and taxpayers got to feed him and give a bed everynight during all those years, there are vets living on the streets freezing and hungry but we will put child molesters and murderers up forever, maybe even give them an education and a free gym. Makes me sick...:mad:

Its' too bad he didn't do it successfully, an hour before he did whatever he did to put himself on death row in the first place...or at least the night he was arrested, to save taxpayer money.

Every cell of every prisoner sentenced to life in prison or death should come equipped with a hanging rope and a stool to jump off. And a little note that says "Feel free to do the taxpayers a favor, one who sucks the penis."

I love the stories or docudramas you see about the guys on death row that were found innocent after serving 10-25 years. :cuss:

This. :clap:

The death penalty is so stupid.

Our justice system isn't good enough to permanent.

Do you like the docudramas of the people released 10-25 years after being released from death throw? Or are those less interesting?

That's exactly what would happen. Nevermind that they probably hated him, they'd sue.
That or he would have ended up in a coma and we would have paid to keep him alive for the next 20 years.

Not true.

I'm completely fascinated by how much people don't know how our legal system works. It's incredible.

This thread needs to go to DC though.

Really, why?

Because it doesn't matter. Lower courts rule based on precedents, as do judges. If any case would come about, it would have been dismissed immediately. You base your judgement on politics that you wish exist, when they don't in court. No court or lawyer would take that case because it would lose, with cost.

Assuming they could find a lawyer to take the case (and they would not), the family would have a difficult time proving liability. AND EVEN IF THEY DID there is no basis for damages. This could be one of those cases where you see a plaintiff's victory with $1 damages awarded.

Okay, you're both wrong. This happens all the time. Families regularly sue prisons for harm done to inmates. There are lawyers who take these cases, by the way. I have no idea what the hell you're talking about. Prisons are responsible for the custody of inmates. They're responsible for their safety. They don't just put inmates in isolation because they're a danger to other prisoners or c/o's. They put them there often times because they're at risk if phyisical injury. Why? Because if they suffer injury, and the prison didn't do everything to protect them, the prison is liable.
The federal government employs hundreds of attorneys to handle cases by prisoners against the prisons, correctional offiicers and wardens. You both couldn't be more wrong.
