This is a very interesting documentary. I'm on the fence when it comes to capital punishment. It's such a terrible situation either way

[@horstholztrager4965]

Brilliantly presented. Hope it makes people think and make our world a better one.

9:00 I don't understand, the police were called by the neighbor who said he heard screams for help from a woman who neighbors him and that he could hear a choking sound. From what they say, the police were there 20 minutes later, and what did they do? Because she didn't show up for a lunch date with her brother he went to look for her and found her dead in her bedroom. So, WTF did the police do when they arrived there that night after hearing the stress call, reporting a possible murder???

I thought it is only in our Africa that police can be so negligent.

[@AryanLyncher]

Pretty moving documentary.

If the death penalty was a deterrent than why is there so many people on death row and in prisons for murder?

[@Jeff-fv8qk]

Being arrested is not a deterrent either

Not true . There’s more good people than bad people and the evil ones will be blind in after two offenses.

Don’t kill n you won’t end up in this situation

[@Redneckrino]

Well Maryland did away with the death penalty. Baltimore is proof that that works 😂

[@shari9721]

The death penalty does not work as a deterrent . States with the death penalty do not have lower death penalty crime rates than states that dont.

Capital punishment is flawed in many ways, progress to a more effective solution of life imprisonment.

[@Mittemo48]

There is no justice, so commit no crime.

True justice, UK’s justice systems are a joke for not having capital punishment. Certain people can’t be in society so why keep them alive and waste taxes also…
