Look up Cameron Willingham, framed by arson investigators and murdered by the state of Texas.

Someone here suggested a book to me about a year ago. Mostly had to do with Bob Macy's time in office. It certainly changed my opinion of the death penalty. That being said I still believe some folks need to die for what they've done.

Some people do, and some people don't. Sure would be nice if we could tell the difference.

I never cease to be shocked out of my head by people who think we should err on the side of guilt. I wish some of you guys could live just a few weeks in the police state you long for.

Dead is dead. The law demands any legal implementation of death not be cruel nor be inhumane.

A bullet behind the ear up into the brain is a reliable instantaeous death, efficient, cheap and if you can't find a human to apply the coup de' grace (yeah right) a machine to do it could very easily be built. Nothing cruel or inhumane about that and way better than your typical inmate sentenced to death deserves.

I don't see the problem.

Death by electrocution is not pretty.

What's wrong with the "instantaneous" form they use in the slaughter houses for cows? Isn't it a pneumatic blow to the brainstem kinda thing? I don't know, that's just what I've heard... or like that guy on No Country For Old Men?

Yeah that guy's name was Anton Chigur. "Do you see me"? He flipped a coin and he killed you or he didn't. Interesting that you would bring that up.

Do you know the date of this coin? The date of this coin is 1958. It's been traveling for twenty two years and now it's here and it's either heads or tails. Call it.

I had seen Javier Bardem in a couple European films prior to this movie and I must say it was a strange thing seeing him hunt his prey in that movie.

Siskel and Ebert would have agreed his hairdo was fabulous.
Tommy lee Jones said "I don't want to push my chips into a situation that I don't understand''

He was talking about that fabulous hairdo.
