Ironically, she didn't even take advantage of it. Probably thought she was above it all

Even though the jury showed mercy to the bookkeeper, she did not appreciate their leniency. For eight years, she broke the rules of her probation and scoffed at the criminal justice system. In 2002, the prosecutor had her probation for murder revoked.

At least there was a happy ending.

[–]DocTomoe 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

She was sentenced on grounds of her having arsenic in her garage ...

if that's probable cause, hell, I am just as guilty as her.

[–]swingmemallet 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Pffft

Arsenic is bush league, ill give your ass insulin

I've never understood how someone guilty of murder can receive anything less than death.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points12 points 11 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link

eh, I don't really trust the state to be the judge of who should live or die. Wasn't there a case a few months ago, a guy's wife was murdered or something and he was accused, the DA had evidence that proved his innocence but withheld it and had him thrown in jail for like 20-30 years. Finally the guy was exonerated and released a little while ago and the DA (who was then a judge) was charged and sentenced to like 10 days. Of which he served like 5.

[–][deleted] -5 points-4 points-3 points 11 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

Yeah, but when you're writing laws you've gotta keep write them based on how they'll apply 99.99% of the time to 99.99% of people.

That incident wasn't the result of an error in the system. That was the result of the DA committing another crime.

Essentially, don't write laws and try and account for corruption. Deal with corruption like the second issue that it is.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points9 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Maybe I'm pessimistic but I think that 99.99% is a little bold. If anything it shows how easily (and nearly undetectably) one corrupt person (and honestly I think it's more than one since he didn't even get locked up for 10 days) can twist the system like that.

If the state had killed him wouldn't the just thing be then to kill the judge? I think laws have to be written like they will be enforced by corruptible non-all-knowing humans... because they will be.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I agree that we should account for failures and incompetence, but not corruption.

I would be happy to see the punishment for corruption of a government official to be public hanging. I can, unfortunately, think of more than a few who'd have been strung up by now.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

We'll just have to not agree then. I think the only laws that should exist are ones that if anyone found anyone breaking them it would be justifiable for them to kill them on the spot. So things like, rape, murder, breaking into someone's house, etc.

All petty laws do is slowly extort people while offering no protection and inevitably, no matter now mundane the law is, it will eventually be used to justify killing/mutilating someone.

Just look at how many people are dead because of weed. I just can't wrap my head around justifying paying people to round up and imprison/extort/kill people for smoking/growing a plant while (statistically speaking) about 1/2 of the people charged with doing the rounding up/killing will go home at the end of the day, drink alcohol and beat their wives. It's absurd.

When you're talking the potentiality of executing innocent citizens, it's more moral to ere on the side of caution. One of the basic principles of our justice system is the concept of " better 10 guilty go free than 1 innocent suffer unjustly" or something to that effect.

[–]DLK601 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

They estimate 1/3 executed are innocent.

[–]Ateist 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Are you willing to murder the one "found guilty"l yourself? What if later he is proven innocent - would you sleep well at night?

It is better to show mercy to a real criminal than to murder an innocent. If there is even a 1 in 7 billion chance that the one found guilty actually isn't (which means you must consider the possibility of such exotic situations as hidden twin/plastic surgery/framing by the prosecutor and the judge), you shouldn't do irreversible things.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah, I can honestly say I would have no qualms executing an innocent person IF it was the right decision relative to the available information at the time.
