WRAL.com – News – House Committee Approves Two-Year Death Penalty Moratorium
So at least the NC House of Reps has a little common sense. WRAL has a poll going that is evenly split between people that think the moratorium is a good idea and those who think it’s a step towards outlawing the death penalty.
So here’s my poll: If you do not support a moratorium of the death penalty while it’s studied for problems explain your position by selecting one of the following (and you MUST chose one or you do not have a justifiable claim to your position):
A) I do not care if innocent people die as long as executions continue.
B) Despite mountains of evidence to the contrary I think the death penalty is a deterrent to would be murderers.
C) I believe our judicial system is efficient, just and without bias.
D) I do not think that prosecutors are politically motivated in their pursuit of criminal convictions.
E) I can cite a criminal case in NC where a prosecutor has obtained evidence that would exonerate a defendant and voluntarily presented it in court for an immediate dismissal.
F) I am a redneck, neo-Christian-conservative who believes an eye-for-an-eye is ordained by God. Innocent people are just casualties of our “War on (insert latest sin here)”.
