re: #235 Shiplord Kirel

Ok, my reform is this: If you are going to support the death penalty, you should be willing to carry it out yourself.

In practical terms, this would mean that the mechanism of execution; the levers that start the flow of drugs, the lanyard of the guillotine, the trap on the gallows, the switch of the electric chair, whatever; should be arranged so that every member of the sentencing jury, and the judge, and the prosecutor, should be required to operate it simultaneously. If any one of them balks or fails, the penalty is reduced to life without parole.

In less heinous or obvious cases, or those that are in honest dispute, it could easily prevent an irrevocable miscarriage of justice.

no problem…is this a part time job?…I’ll take it
