How does anyone know when someone is truly reformed and not going to re-offend?
Whether it deters criminals or not I don't really care.
As I say, this is the only argument I view as valid against CP.otaku said:But as a society, we cannot aford to simply kill members of our society out of hand. Like I mentioned before - are you willing to accept that the state will condemn innocent people to death?

Minimal crime and nice clean streets though...CharlieG said:A country the size of Melbourne that has executions most Fridays. Yep. Going really well for them.
This is where I would hope the burden of proof is of a much higher level, not the burden of proof to convict, but that the burden of proof is 100% . Yes that is an odd concept , but I do think our court system convicts innocent people at times.otaku said:But as a society, we cannot aford to simply kill members of our society out of hand.

ie a Julian Knight would be pushing daisies for mine, yet a Lindy Chamberlain would not

What technicality was that?JUBJUB said:According to the news tonight he got off on a technicallity from a charge of sexually assaulting another 8yo 3 years ago.
I'd be surprised if he was ever allowed out into the general prison population, as he would be dead in ten minutes. The prison authorities have a duty of care, but a little slip up in procedure sometimes does happen. And yes, ten minutes just as much as he gave the little tacker, would be enough. Too bad it wouldn't be a daily occurence.Mofra said:FuManchu, I only hope they put the guy into general population in prison. Plenty of dark corners and angry people. I've heard plenty of stories of what they do to rock spiders in prison, and to be honest I don't feel the slightest bit of remorse for what is going to happen to the creep.

I wonder if a barbed wire dildo is being made as we speakMofra said:Unfortunately more details are emerging of the crime that are making it progressively worse.
FuManchu, I undertand that all protective services have a duty of care to prisoners. I do beleive that in this instance that duty is purely a professional one and not a moral one - certainly I couldn't take a job there, as the temptation to dish out a primative form of retribution would be too great.
section8 said:Perth accused not Bulger killer: police
Based on the choice of wording in the police statement in response to the rumours, to me it appears that they aren't sure themselves or are sure and don't want to jeopardise the trial. I'll be waiting for a few more details to come through before ruling out that it isn't one of them.
