Human Rights Laywer On Serial Killers, Execution Methods and Guantanamo Bay | Minutes With

The 14 year old kid getting held in Guantanamo Bay for telling them where to get tomatoes is just peak American idiocy.

[@colleenmonfross4283]

That's assuming what he said is true. I don't believe anything he said. He has a clear agenda and truth is not involved.

[@fliss1304]

⁠@@colleenmonfross4283what a clear agenda against Guantanamo?

[@bethdumont9020]

​@fliss1304 against the death penalty. There's a case to be made for AND against it. Against case: possibility of an innocent person being executed. the racial imbalance on death row that exists in the US. the fact that in some cases judges don't have discretion over it's application. There may be mitigating circumstances underpinning the crime they were convicted of. For Case: Dennis Rader (BTK). Arthur Shawcross (Genessee River Killer). Gary Ridgeway (Green River Killer). Jeffrey Dahmer. Guys who CAN'T be released EVER. There's better uses for the $ spent keeping them alive in prison.

[@brenthunter7965]

[@TechnicallyBeige]

@@colleenmonfross4283 Do tell us what "clear agenda" one has against a barbaric establishment like Gitmo. Tell us how suggesting innocent people are being detained left and right is really just a lie, as if it's not patently true through the dysfunctionalities of the jusitce system domestically, even without involving colossal mistakes like "The Patriotic Act" and The War on Terror and all that. Not gonna lie. I'm always glad there's a huge ocean between Europe and North America. Y'all are special over there.

Edward Earl Johnson was a man convicted in 1979 at the age of 18 and subsequently executed by the U.S. state of Mississippi for the murder of a policeman, J.T. Trest, and the sexual assault of a 69-year-old woman, Sally Franklin. Throughout his eight years on death row, he continued to plead his innocence. Johnson was executed by gas chamber. His case came to international attention when he was featured in the BBC documentary Fourteen Days in May. Broadcast in 1987, the documentary showed the last two weeks of Johnson's life. It starts on May 6, the day that Johnson learns the date of his execution. During interviews, Johnson said that his confession was forced by police in a deserted wood while they were threatening to shoot him. Throughout the documentary he also raised the point of the sexual assault victim saying during the police lineup that he was not the man who raped her and pointed to another individual. In the time since execution occurred, Johnson's lawyers located a woman who claimed to have an alibi for Johnson, being with him during the time of the crime. She volunteered her testimony at the courthouse but was supposedly told to "go home and mind her own business".

Was he later declared as innocent by the court or some legal institution? Also was the actual person who did this was caught?

At approximately 6:30 pm, nicholas Ingram entered the Cobb County home of J.C. and Mary Sawyer, demanding that they let him use their phone and later demanding money and the keys to the couple's car, threatening to shoot them if they did not cooperate with him. Mary Sawyer gave Ingram $60, while J.C. Sawyer surrendered the keys to his pickup truck. Ingram then led the couple outside and into the woods surrounding their home. He tied their hands behind them and bound them to a tree using rope and wire. The Sawyers begged Ingram not to kill them while Ingram taunted and threatened them; he ultimately gagged them with his shirt after tearing it in two and stuffing each half into each victim's mouth. He then shot them both in the head at point-blank range. The shots were fatal to J.C. Sawyer, but Mrs. Sawyer survived. She played dead until she heard Ingram drive off with J.C. Sawyer's truck. After confirming that her husband was dead, Mary Sawyer untied herself and went to a neighbor's house to call the police.

How do we have elective euthanasia in some countries and at veterinary practices that happens peacefully but so many executions go so wrong

[@FragrantRain]

Because it's harder for people to not care about animals the same way we dehumanize one another

[@jakubport7361]

I empathise with this guy, he is obviously a good man who cares for people and always tries to find the best in them. On the other hand, he is biased because of the personal contact. The people he represents are murderers, rapists, liars, generally people who can never walk on the street. They chose their path and they received consequences. Overall, I wish nothing but the best for him ~

[@TheAshley9697]

Nice way of putting it. I agree…

[@kerrylove96]

Many of us, and I imagine this guy, still think the death penalty is a fate that even the worst people alive don't deserve for several reasons, remember that!

[@emilio.p]

Sorry but you clearly didn't watch the whole video before commenting this. He states very clearly that in some places over half the people who go on death row are innocent. And even those who aren't, it's not like he's releasing them "on the streets", he just doesn't think that doing to these people the same thing they did to others is gonna bring society any good.

[@soonlet4977]

Its your own bias to believe that just because people did terrible things that you can torture them, yes torture not humanely killed from electrocution. But on the other hand, some innocent people get killed anyway. So you really feel a few innocent people's time and life being unfairly prosecuted is worth making sure horrible people don't exist? It seems you didn't spend that much time thinking about it.

[@jakubport7361]

@@soonlet4977 I actually spend a lot of time thinking about this issue. No justice is perfect and never will be. Just because people slip through the cracks or people get wrongfully sentenced doesn't mean we should stop enforcing the law and its punishments. He will tell you that half of these people are innocent. Based on what? It's based on their words, nothing else. If they had a proof, I'm sure he would immediately defend them and got them out of the death row. Some people deserve the punishment, it's ok if you disagree.

Krishna Nanan Maharaj was a British Trinidadian businessman. In 1987 he was convicted by a Florida, U.S., court of the double murders of Chinese Jamaican businessmen Derrick Moo Young and his adult son Duane Moo Young, and was sentenced to death. Maharaj always denied committing the murders, and according to the human rights organisation Reprieve, the case of Krishna Maharaj was "an epic miscarriage of justice". On 13 September 2019, Federal Magistrate Judge Alicia M. Otazo-Reyes made a legal finding that Maharaj had proven his innocence by "clear and convincing evidence" and that "no reasonable juror could convict him", but ruled that this was not sufficient for Maharaj to be set free On 4 April 2017, the US 11th Circuit Court of Appeals granted a hearing based on evidence pointing to the involvement of Pablo Escobar's Medellín Cartel in the killings of which Maharaj had been convicted. The court said that the additional witnesses had presented "compelling" accounts that "independently corroborate one another's" and that "five individuals' stories reflect that the Moo Youngs were killed by the cartel."
