re: #75 brookly red

he confessed…

…and was witnessed committing the act. I don’t see any shred of doubt of guilt in this case.

Note that confession alone isn’t sufficient for a conviction, let alone such sentencing. People confess to crimes they didn’t commit all the time, for a variety of reasons. I’d be unwilling to administer the death penalty based solely on a confession and no other supporting evidence.
