Wow. I didnt know that. Under no circumstances should we be taking life of living beings. Conveniently for my opinion prison is a worse punishment.

That had to be an unpleasant ruling to make.From the AP:The Supreme Court on Wednesday outlawed executions of people convicted of raping a child.

The United States Supreme Court ruled today that the death penalty is not an appropriate punishment for an offense in which the victim did not die, and was never intended to die.

Ronald Allen Smith, a native of Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, was sentenced to death in March 1983 after he was found guilty of shooting two men in the back of the head just after they had offered him a ride while hitchhiking. Smith later said that he did it "to find out what it would be like to kill somebody." He also accepted his death sentence as an appropriate fate, but then changed his mind and engaged in a spirited round of appeals. For years, Canada has lobbied foreign governments to show mercy to its citizens when they face the death penalty, requesting commutations of sentence (to life in prison) or that prisoners be returned to Canada to serve their term there. Canada got rid of the death penalty for its own citizens in 1976. Smith is the only Canadian on death row in the United Sta

As executions resume, it is probably pretty important to remind people about the intense racial disparities in the practice of executions. The New York Times takes a look at this exact thing: New Look at Death Sentences and Race: A new study to be published in The Houston Law Review this fall has found two sorts of racial disparities in the administration of the death penalty there, one commonplace and one surprising. The unexceptional finding is that defendants who kill whites are more likely to be sentenced to death than those who kill blacks. More than 20 studies around the nation have come to similar conclusions. But the new study also detected a more straightforward disparity. It found that the race of the defendant by itself plays a major role in explaining who is sentenced to

Daca intrebai inaintea disputarii semifinalelor, 'Care va fi finala?', majoritatea oamenilor ti-ar fi spus Bayern - Fiorentina. Insa, fotbalul ne-a oferit o zi plina de surprize. Dupa ce Zenit a spulberat-o pe Bayern cu 4-0, Fiorentina a fost si ea eliminata din competitie de Rangers. Dupa 180 de minute fara gol + inca 30 de prelungiri, s-a ajuns la loteria penalty-urilor. Si aici Fiorentina pornea favorita tinand cont de terenul propriu, experienta jucatorilor si, mai ales, a portarul Frey. Meciul, in sine, a fost unul destul de plictisitor, cu o echipa Fiorentina care a atacat fara sa riste si un Rangers ce s-a aparat cu toate liniile. Vorba comentatorului, 'Rangers nu a jucat nimic 180 de minute plus cele 30 de prelungiri, dar va juca in finala'. La penalty-uri se parea ca se va face dr

Don Cherry almost took the words right out of my mouth after the Habs game when he said that he was going to do a feature on the brilliant defensive play of Derian Hatcher, only to have the colossal defender almost turn Francis Boullion's head into a cube and almost costing the Flyers Game 3. Moments before the boarding penalty I was actually saying to Temujin how good Hatcher has been in these playoffs. Sometimes I don't watch the puck or puck carrier on the t.v. screen. I'll watch the people behind the play or away from the puck. I've noticed that Hatcher is playing positionally very well in order to compensate for his lack of speed. He blocks shots. He makes people pay with crunching hits in the defensive zone. He has no fear.It's this kind of play that may be the Habs' undoing. The Fly

Last week, Professors Linda E. Carter and Mary-Beth Moylan of McGeorge School of Law (University of the Pacific) testified before the California Commission on the Fair Administration of Justice. Their testimony was supported by a remarkable document, a paper entitled, "Clemency in Capital Cases," which focused primarily on the death penalty in the State of California, procedures for clemency petitions in that state and reasons that have been offered in the past for granting or denying clemency. An additional section discusses clemency and death penalty cases in five other states (North Carolina, Texas, Ohio, Georgia and Nevada).Carter and Moylan document that from 1893 to present, there have been 513 executions in the State of California. In that same time period, there were 105 commutatio
