What's the percentage of innocent people that have been executed in the last fifty years? How about just naming one. Also, how many innocents have been murdered by those who have been released from death row?What's the percentage of innocent people you would expect to execute in the given year?
Their names spark vague recognition in many Illinois residents: Rolando Cruz, Alejandro Hernandez, Verneal Jimerson, Dennis Williams, Joseph Burrows, Gary Gauger, Carl Lawson, Perry Cobb, Darby Tillis.
Most people may at least remember hearing about some of them. Others could identify who a few of the men are, but come up blank on the rest. Yet the state and residents of Illinois owe a debt to these nine men that is so great, it cannot - and will not - ever be repaid.
They are the former Illinois Death Row inmates who have been found innocent and freed in the decade since the death penalty was reinstituted in the state. In the same period of time, the state executed only eight men. All together, those freed spent a total of 52 years on Death Row, and another 36 in county jails and state prisons.
In the last four years, 17 Death Row inmates in the nation have been found innocent and freed. Seven of those men were in Illinois. Many legal advocates in the state and around the country are dismayed that the state's justice system could have repeatedly failed so miserably. Throughout every one of the men's ordeals, corruption, flawed investigations, and inadequate legal representation plagued them. And in the cases of eight of the nine men, it took the intervention of people completely outside of the justice system for them to win back their freedom.
Equal Justice USA has issued a report on the death penalty in the US, finding at least 16 men executed since the reinstitution of the death penalty were Probably Innocent

What error? All too often, the excuse is not "I didnt do it!" But I couldnt help myself" or The victim deserved it"
You prefer to feed the innocent to the criminal. God says, if you dont wish to be executed, dont be a criminal. You say "Feed the criminal all the victims he wants lest we kill an innocent. And, "Innocent" does not always mean he did not do it, it means he had some right to do it.

Your opinion of Hinduism is noted and rejected. A number of groups of peoples and countries quite successfully used non-violent techniques to deal with the Nazis, they were just as much responsible for their eventual defeat as any other group. Proof please as to your assertion that South Africa is "the child rapist capital of the world."
While Ntombi's story is disturbing, in South Africa it is also commonplace. The country has the world's highest incidence of rape; a girl born there today has a one in three chance of finishing school, and a one in two chance of being raped. The stories behind these statistics are explored in the documentary Dispatches: The Lost Girls of South Africa, to be screened next Sunday at 9pm on Channel 4.
Do your own blessed research will you. I am so tired of people demanding that someone else do a simple google search for them.

What percentage is required to stop supporting State murder? Nevermind. You asked for only one person to be named so that means if you know of just one innocent person that was State murdered you will stop support. Correct? If not, what was the point of asking for a percentage or just one name? Was it an attempt to convolute the dialogue and distract?

Shows where you stand. You cannot stand with Christ and demonic idol worship
Compelling enough for me. I would rather a killer was imprisoned for life than 1 innocent person died.
