Where did you run off to EmperorChrostas the Cruel? You made a claim and I demanded proof of said claim. Don't tell me your trying to get away with a bullshit claim.

I am unable to find the exsistance of said data.
I can not even find hard data on how many are in prison NOW for murder, much less the subset of life without parolees.
Given the nature of these web debates, I must concede the point. Stop here if you are an idealog.

I can't fid any evidence either way. I am sure it is out there, but this is not important enough to me that I can't shrug my shoulders and say, "I don't know. I concede."

Can you come up with any?
Hard data I mean. I am a very pragmatic man, and whatever works, I'm in favour of. If the DP kills more innocent than it saves, it is a net liability.
See the point I am making, is the death peanalty is the status quo. When I get a good set of facts telling me to change sides, I do. Until then, we keep the death penalty. The burden of proof to STOP the death peanalty is on you.(DNA exoneratin work on a case by case basis ofr me)
I once again concecde, but would realy like to be proved wrong or right on the merits of my case, not what I can find on the net in 30 minute of research.It has the smell of "insuficiennt evidence," which makes you not guilty, but you still did it.(OJ)
I will accept that you will not accepet studies I have seen, but cannot relocate, in the same fasion I still saw shit on TV, even if I can't produce a video copy of what I saw go down live.
I am much interested if you can even suggest key word sequences to continue looking.
At the very least I can know I'm wrong for sure.
Just what is the ratio of OJs to Sam Shepards?
As usual, the deeper the question, the more emotionaly attached we are to our points.If anyone here is more interested in the truth, than his own sacred cow being gored?
I am. So, How many are in prison for life, and get out and kill again?
Anybody? Some numbers?
Even some pro or anti "Biased figures?"
Hmmmmmm.
