Flashermac Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 My problem with the death penalty is that innocent people have been wrongfully convicted and executed. If someone is later found to have been innocent, there is no way to correct that after they are dead. << The Death Penalty Information Center (U.S.) has published a list of 10 inmates "executed but possibly innocent". At least 39 executions are claimed to have been carried out in the U.S. in the face of evidence of innocence or serious doubt about guilt. In the UK, reviews prompted by the Criminal Cases Review Commission have resulted in one pardon and three exonerations for people executed between 1950 and 1953 (when the execution rate in England and Wales averaged 17 per year), with compensation being paid. >> << Timothy Evans was tried and executed in 1950 for the murder of his baby daughter Geraldine. An official inquiry conducted 16 years later determined that it was Evans's fellow tenant, serial killer John Reginald Halliday Christie, who was responsible for the murder. Christie also admitted to the murder of Evans's wife, as well as five other women and his own wife. Christie may have murdered other women, judging by evidence found in his possession at the time of his arrest, but it was never pursued by the police. Evans was posthumously pardoned in 1966. The case had prompted the abolition of capital punishment in the UK in 1965. >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrongful_execution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kung Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 A revolving-door judiciary that sees convicted murderers released to murder again has the net effect of killing far more innocents than capital punishment does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palatkik Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 You wouldn't believe how bloodthirsty most Thais are. Several times I've asked university students if they thought the death penalty should be abolished. They overwhelmingly have answered no! "He did the crime, so he should pay the penalty." But the Buddha taught that one should not kill anything ... animal or human. Thais are Buddhists only when it is convenient, just like most Christians are in the USA. The kids of today eh?

Flashermac Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Victim of rape on train in 2001 speaks up A THAI WOMAN lost her bright career, her optimism and her ability to continue living in Thailand after a State Railway of Thailand (SRT) employee raped her on a train 13 years ago. The case made big news in 2001, but sadly it was insufficient to nudge relevant authorities into ensuring the safety of all passengers on SRT trains. On July 6 this year, another SRT employee raped and killed a 13-year-old girl while she was travelling on a Bangkok-bound train. The girl's tragic fate has made headlines not just in Thailand, but also beyond. When the older victim read the report in Greece, where she now lives, she collapsed in distress. After regaining consciousness, she began to write an open letter that was finally sent to Thai media. "Why did it happen again?" she asked. Her letter was addressed to the chief of the National Council for Peace and Order and to the SRT. She decided to speak up after having stayed silent for so long. To date, the SRT has not paid her any compensation for the ordeal she suffered while riding on one of its trains 13 years ago. Haunted by the trauma, the victim decided to leave Thailand and try to start a new life in Greece. However, the devastating effects of the sexual attack continue to hurt her, no matter where she now is physically. "I am now a living-dead," she lamented. In her letter, she disclosed that she had suffered every single day throughout the past 13 years. She said that following the rape, she needed years-long psychiatric treatment, due to nightmares, fear of people, and insomnia. "Years-long dependence on drugs has affected my physical health. My hands now shake," she added. She recounted how the rape had caused her humiliation and shattered her bright career. "That train trip was a work trip. The company felt uncomfortable [about what happened] and in the end I was pressured to quit my job," she said. Her attacker was sentenced to nine years in jail, and her compensation lawsuit is now pending in the Supreme Court, as the SRT appealed against a lower court's verdict that had ruled in her favour. However, this victim decided to write an open letter now not because she wants to press her case. "In typing this letter, I am trying to communicate with Thais. Isn't it time for us to start doing something to ensure that Thai society is safer?" she said. She also said she hoped harsher punishments would be prescribed against rapists, and measures taken to prevent a recurrence of such attacks as she and the 13-year-old girl had suffered. "Please take these steps because they should be able to reduce or even prevent such attacks from taking place," she said. A part of her letter also attacked the current governor of the SRT, Prapat Chongsa-nguan, for saying that there had never been any serious crime on trains on the Bangkok-bound route until this month. "How can he fail to notice that a rape had happened on the SRT train before this?" she said. http://www.nationmul...p-30238159.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavanami Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 ...but not for all involved... "...The court also sentenced a 19-year-old train employee to four years in jail for aiding Wanchai with the rape...."
