Innocent people do get charged with crimes they didn't commit, and innocent
people die or spend their lives behind bars, but that's no reason to stop
punishing the truly guilty.

Some of you people must have lived very sheltered lives. I grew up on the
mean streets. There are people out there with no regard for human life.
They will kill you for your shoes.

When those people take another's life, they deserve to die.

That's all, I'm done...
