Riana,

re: "improperly acquitted criminals"

Yes, but to a greater extent, the problem is improperly SENTENCED criminals. We allow too many that have been convicted to serve limited sentences, go free, and commit even more heinous acts.

I could post a story every single day of someone whose life was destroyed by this. Liberal sentencing, and SOCIETY, are to blame.

You only read part of hs answer. The rest of it contradicts his earlier sentence.

I'm done with this.

OK, here's the complete answer:
Decomposed: I recognize that 'Improperly convicted' people are victims of the system. But such victims appear to be few and far between. My guess is that there are a hundred times as many victims who suffer at the hands of criminals the system RELEASES.

Society doesn't need fewer executions. It needs more. MANY more.

My interpretation is that he believes the number of innocent victims harmed by improperly acquitted criminals is far greater than innocent victims of improper conviction.

Our system is flawed, in that improper convictions can occur. We are, after all, only human, and are fallible. What irks me is that RIGHTFULLy CONVICTED criminals - people who actually admit their guilt after conviction - end up winning appeals on technicalities and go free, to commit more crimes. THAT is not right, as much as convicting someone who is innocent.
