Rutherford Institute Urges Gov. McDonnell to Reconsider Virginia’s Death Penalty Policy, Stop Jackson Execution

Click Here to Read the Press Release





Gee Guys? Rape and murder of the elderly isn't worthy of the death penalty? Reformative JUSTICE? Where was the justice for defenseless 88 year old Ruth Phillips?
I guess removing the Ten Commandments from site in public education removes any serious mind damage to those who don't see them-- and yours too?
Has TRI gone mad because those you are pandering to are not going to provide financial aid to your ill focused defense!


No doubt he deserves to be punished? And rate of recidivism on such people who are placed in peril by "reformative Justice?

I have enjoyed reading many of John's opinions and have found myself agreeing with a vast majority
of them.
This is one that I find myself in opposition to. My reasons are the following.

One: For crimes of this nature, I am in favor of the death penalty.
Two: The heinousness of this crime cries out for this type of penalty.
Three: There are many in our society who have been subjected to abuse as children who
manage to live out their lives without committing acts of violence against others.

What if the jurors had been given a "complete picture", of the abuse, his attorneys claim Mr Jackson
was subjected to as a child, and the jury still found for the death penalty?

If one is opposed to the death penalty, for any crime, then those in opposition will always argue that
the guilty have not received a fair trial, or that there are mitigating circumstances to warrant undoing
a lawful verdict.

Sincerely,
Stephen
