this case is just another example why death sentence should never be allowed in the justice system!
Quote by deancannock
its clear why he has now been found not guilty..because evidence that was not avialbale 8 years ago....is now !!! And yes this clearly shows why the death penalty should never be introduced...This innocent man would now be dead !!
Quote by Misterwood
Minefield alert!!
Having studied the death penalty at uni, it became clear (to me at least) that the only function it serves is one of revenge or retribution. There are a lot of studies that show it serves no deterrent purpose. In fact many states that have it in America have higher incidences of serious violent crime than non-capital punishment states (the brutalization theory if memory serves).
Also the death penalty costs more than prison (trial costs are roughly ten times higher if the death penalty is pursued). And the cost of incarceration is higher for death penalty prisoners than for lifers. Yes they'll serve less time, but some of these prisoners are serving 15 years, and THEN being executed.
Having said all this, rationally, I'm not sure if my mind would change if someone I loved was taken away from me......

As for George in my mind how can they find him guilty at one trial with everything at their disposal, an experienced trial judge and more lawyers than you can shake a stick at? :shock: and then 8 years on with the same band of wallys find him not guilty? :shock:
I read and listened to that trial years ago and in my mind he is as guilty today as he was 8 years ago.

Quote by Suede-head
I didn't sit on the jury, hear the evidence so can not comment on whether justice is done. We must all be cautious and not make assumptions on someones guilt / innocence by reading the daily papers !
Quote by Pete_sw
I've never read so much bollox on one thread in my entire life (with exceptions)
Barry George was totally incapable of committing murder, fact.
The assassination of Jill Dando was just that, well planned and expertly executed, with extreme prejudice, trust me, I know this stuff.
The judicial system needs to stop being scared of the real killers out there and bring them to justice, how strange that everyone seems to have forgotten the last assignment she was working on when she died and that all references to it have been pulled off the net
as for the whole hanging debate, i don’t care how many kids / women /men / old grannies etc have died, for the state to murder an innocent person means they have murdered them in my name. Not A Chance, I'm quite happy to pay my taxes to keep them in jail just on the off chance that they might be innocent.
Or should we introduce street justice and the the tire necklace to the uk? You might want to think about your answer, it could so easily be you.
Quote by Phuckers
very well said,there is alot behind Gill's death that is still covered up... Barry was a scapegoat

i still got a funny feeling he will be back behind bars!
