Staph infection, eh? Not at all uncommon, you'll find. And it's when we don't read the small print in the legislation passed we find that we are losing out.
Everything this administration has done has been rife with small print, you'll discover when you start looking at their policies in depth.
It has been found that for those who are wrongly convicted of crimes they didn't do, it takes an average of FOURTEEN years for the mistake to be rectified--if it ever is. Yet Bush has pushed to have the appeals process shortened and limited, and execution procedures streamlined, which would bring execution at a much earlier time than the fourteen years typically it takes for an innocent individual to be recognized as innocent. If you don't care whether or not the people on Death Row are innocent or guilty, but simply assume that ONLY guilty folk get convicted, then maybe that's okay with you. But for those who want REAL justice for the truly guilty and freedom for the truly innocent, this is an alarming state of affairs. As over a 100 individuals from Death Rows across the nation have been freed as a result of DNA evidence alone since the death penalty was reinstated, and as even more are released on the basis of proven improprieties in their trials, Bush's proposals are frightening to me.
