Death in Texas: Analysing the Last Words of 478 Death Row Prisoners | Jon Millward - Blog
On the day of his execution, a condemned prisoner is not allowed to be interviewed by anyone from the media and, thanks to Lawrence Russell Brewer, is no longer allowed to request a special last meal.9.5% of the prisoners executed in Texas between 1982 (when the lethal injection was brought in) and 2005 claimed they were innocent of the crime that they were strapped to the gurney for committing. This is a sobering thought, especially when you consider that since 1973, 140 men have been exonerated from death row because their conviction was overturned and they were acquitted at re-trial or had all charges dropped, or were given an absolute pardon by the governor based on new evidence of innocence. DNA evidence played a major role in establishing innocence in 17 of these cases.6 These facts naturally bring to mind the main question that has surrounded the death penalty for hundreds of years: do the benefits of killing the guilty definitely outweigh the risk of accidentally murdering the innocent? The justification for the death penalty acting as a deterrent to criminals has long stood on shaky ground: 88% of former and present presidents of the country’s academic criminological societies say that it’s not.7 And in a 2010 poll by Lake Research Partners, it was found that a clear majority of voters (61%) would choose a punishment other than the death penalty for murder.8Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Top twenty phrases
'Cretin'
'Lick the Chutney spoon'
'How much is the house worth?'
'Films about Gladiators?'
'Have you Bled the radiators?'
'Up the OXO tower'
'Don't look in the handbag'
there is some confusion about these phrases, I believe some relate to degrading sexual activities but Cretin definitely is a respectful reference to one of their members who believes himself to be a guru.
anyone want to complete the review?Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
