Reminiscent of the Al Gore 'extra chromosome right-wing' remark where he took a swipe at people with Downs Syndrome.connie2005 said:And with the amount of people who are know free from death row and out of jail, because of DNA, well only an idiot savant, would think that innocence people have not been killed.
RightatNYU said:Regarding a 6 year old whacking a kid to death with a screwdriver:
That wouldn't be elegible for the death penalty, because capital punishment requires that the murder be planned and depraved, emotions that kids who are unreasonably young are incapable of understanding.
It should be left the way it was before; where judges and juries had the right to determine on a case by case basis if the perpetrator was developed enough to make the decisions.
You all do realize now that in several states, a 17 year old is ruled intelligent and capable enough to choose to murder her unborn baby without consulting with an adult or paying any repurcussions, but is ruled too young and stupid to plan the murder of another teen.
That is ridiculous.

This is simply because alot of Children do what they do because they are under the influence of peer pressure.. and in some cases under the influence of their parental units. If a father tremendously beat his child into following his every commands for fear of another beating.. and this father told his 9year old Child to take a gun to school and shoot at everybody. The kid, not knowing his options for departing away from his father, does this crime.. he knows that he did this crime and this crime is recorded as meditated crime. I couldn't see how you could give this child the death penalty..
