With no other evidence the death of a child due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) cannot be treated as murder. Only the death of the second child prompted investigation and prosecution. The evidence presented included information about her lifestyle. She was a highly paid solicitor (attorney) who was said to have no time to look after the children. But the damning statistic is the 73 million to one chance of a second SIDS victim in the same family. As a juror you would be hard pressed to ignore that. Obviously in Donutland most things are not what they seem, yes I did cast the bait to see if there were any takers. The reason I did so was to show that things are not always black and white - there is a little grey in the world. I acknowlege TL's original post where he suggests the death penalty only if there is no doubt but I would point out that people are still wanting her to fry even though I stated her innocence.

Donut - To be perfectly honost, I was very glad I didn't find this thread until after you "sprang the trap" - otherwise I would have been caught in it. I support the Death Penalty and I am especially outraged at people who harm children...so you would have caught me hook, line, and sinker.
While my views on the Death Penalty haven't changed, you have shown me to be sure I have ALL the facts before making any judgements about the person's guilt or innocence. So my compliments and the Barbarian Salute were honost and sincere. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Way to excavate back pages, Cerek. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
Must be due to decrease in traffic volume on IWF. Where did all our Great Debate friends & opponents run off to. How dare they have lives! |
