Lawyers and scholars won't like it, because it screws with the deepest philosophical principles of the system.

 

But I have always believed that the death penalty should require a higher standard on the burden of proof. Perhaps even a second trial for guilt under different standards and rules.

 

Unless I am running shit. I can tell who needs to go and who can stay with pretty high accuracy. I'm also going to make a national, endless open season on Grackles and Dolphins. No bag limit. Inuits should take notice.

I also believe that state-administered death deserves a "penalty phase" hearing that is distinct from the trial (although it would not be a bad idea to apply the standards I mentioned to that as well -- it will never happen). I was going to write that but I figured I'd give you a chance to show you're smart, etc. 

 

If you include whales (see my Mosin post) I will join you. Sea mammals will soon take over the earth and rule above us. Maybe some fish as well. DEATH TO ALL SENTIENT SEA CREATURES! Sancho, my 300-year supply of tin foil!!
