If anyone is to blame it is the framers of the Constitution who attempted to ensure that no innocent man or woman be punished unfairly, and that no person be punished without a fair trial, and that no person be subjected to cruel and inhumane treatment.<BR/><BR/>Regardless, the fact of the matter is that when a case involves capital punishment, the healing process cannot begin for victim's families because the case itself goes through the courts for decades...a process that, although still lengthy, is not as drawn out in cases involving life sentences, even life without parole.<BR/><BR/>I am sorry for your loss.H.C.I.C. - New Whig Chairmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02837026209679258247noreply@blogger.com
