In recent years, we have also discovered that the FBI and local police
evidence-gathering organizations lie about their findings, that police
shoot unarmed and innocent suspects, and that overzealous prosecutors
make up evidence and testimony for political purposes, ala the Duke
"rape" case. In any event, I am opposed to capital punishment, and the
fact that our system is provably flawed only enhances my position.

I also am (and always have been) opposed to capital punishment. But, we
also have to
change the rules for life imprisonment lifestyles for those found guilty
under law. No more "retirement" homes with all the luxuries of cable TV,
recreation centers and other perks that some of their law abiding victims
could not afford.

Thumbs up to Eisboch. I agree 100%.
