Force the convicted to watch Richmond games.

Every decent person would agree with that stoney but to me the problem is as you said he was let out not that he wasn't executed. Mongrels like that should never walk out of prison again. The system is at fault.

Can Mersina's family take action against those who released him?

 

[ssstone]

horrific case disco,and yet the judge lets him apply for parole after only 20 years?good arguement for capital punishment.that way the prick would never reoffend.

 

[Tiger29]

I really don't have a problem with the death penalty for premeditated murder. If it's someones sole intention to murder someone else then they don't have a right to live themselves.

I feel more strongly on this when children are involved.

Why should someone have the pleasure of waking up each morning, regardless of where they are, when they have denyed someone else of that same pleasure.

Agree.

You can add Farquarson (the bloke who drove the car into the dam and killed his 3 kids) to my the "Flick the Switch" list.

Disagree, this is just yet another good argument for slapping judges and/or parole boards across the back of the head.

What's the point in keeping someone in jail for life when there is undeniable evidence and/or a confession for a brutal crime. If they are at "the point of no return" where there is absolutely no doubt about guilt then they should be disposed of. Simple. Why waste time and money on feeding and sheltering them? What is this going to achieve if there is no intention of rehabilitation and release? Grown adults brutally raping and slitting the throat of children is a clear example of the human species gone wrong and there should be a methodical approach of extinguishing them.

His ex-wife still maintains his innocence. how do u rationalise that, Livers?

No need for words here...just a simple: :clap

She's living in denial, shock, and still can't believe it....so who cares what she 'maintains'.

The court/jury saw through it, by looking at the evidence, and coming up with their final decision.....that is how I rationalise it.

I guess people put a lot of stock in the notion that two wrongs don't make a right.

The Victorian Supreme Court has been told there is reasonable doubt about the guilt of Robert Farquharson, charged with murdering his three sons.

Mr Farquharson has pleaded not guilty to murdering his three young sons, who drowned when their car ran off a road and into a dam at Winchelsea on Fathers Day in 2005.

In summarising his case to the jury, Peter Morrissey said the crown case relied on medical evidence, accident reconstruction and the evidence of Mr Farquharson's former friend, Greg King.

Mr Morrissey said that in taped conversations with Mr King, Mr Farquharson denied claims that he had previously threatened to kill his sons on Fathers Day, to get back at his former wife.

He said Mr King's version of the original conversation was unrealistic and he was an unreliable witness.

The trial continues.

There is no other wrong here. It's not murder, it's disposing of a bad egg.

And the trial continued to the final result which was....?

Doesn't matter. You could execute him and five years later new technology could come to light that proves his innocence. That'd be a big mistake.

Agree. Re Farquharson you'd need further evidence before you flick the switch.

To all those who are against capital punishment :

Why is it that if my dog escapes and bites someone, even if it results in only a minor injury, it can be held accountable for it's actions and put down while a human can do whatever he/she pleases to anyone or anything he / she pleases yet cannot be held accountable in the same way?

You are against capital punishment in a society which already practices capital punishment against offenders, except for humans.

You might argue that a human life is more valuable than other living creatures but as far as I'm concerned, that's a cop out used to excuse barbaric human behavior. My dog's life is worth more than any of the b**t**ds mentioned in this thread.

The lot of them should be executed and be done with. They should accept their fate without complaint, media fanfare or any of the other rubbish that goes along with it.

This is not about deterring others. There is no punishment in the world that acts as a deterrent. We wouldn't need punishment if punishment acted as a deterrent but I don't see anyone demanding the complete shutdown of all jails on the basis that jail doesn't deter others.

So why argue that point in the case of capital punishment?

disco i know that every time a cars front end gets aligned ,the car will track left.not right.the roads in that part of vic are very heavily cambered from a high crest to the left shoulder to help with drainage.yet his car went right,and as the police proved when they sunk a car of the same model,it stayed afloat for over 3 minutes.plenty of time to affect some sort of rescue attempt?

All the evidence gathered proved he deliberately ran the car off the road....deliberately swerved to miss a tree.....deliberately turned off the ignition and lights so it would be very hard for any rescuer to quickly find the car in the attempt to rescue any of the kids....deliberately waved down a passer-by and got taken to the ex-wife's place, instead of getting anyone to help get at ;east one of the kids out.

Sorry.....you're grasing at straws, instead of grasping for the switch...

 

[Six Pack]

killing him wont bring the kids back.
