Pamela Moresby
In New Zealand in our court system, a man is innocent unless he is proven guilty. How many people have walked the gallows when they were innocent and were wrongly convicted?
I put a link up here for defrosting cold cases. A man called Zeigler was convicted of murder and walks on death row for a crime he did not commit.
I don’t know the answers, or whether he actually did it. What I do know that a man should have a fair trial and have a chance to get to the actual truth about who did what. I don’t think anyone should get the death penalty if there is any doubt whether the man actually did it.
So here, is my vote, for fairness and liberty for anyone who is proven innocent.
Here is my post of the man rowing the boat in the river and the moon!
i agree nice photo love it!!
Thanks, Jasmine, it’s not a photo, its my painting
Amazing work….thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much for your response
So true Rex, this is true, and the lawyer is after the money at the end of the day but not all of the lawyers are the same.
Still preferable to some of the other systems of justice which have and still do exist
Thanks Alex, I just believe in fairness for everyone.
Completely guilty or not, we do not really know, but the death penalty is always sad, no matter what. For me, justice or fairness must be put above all aspirations, but no man has the right to take the life of others.
Totally agree with you Albert
But how do we determine guilt or innocence? Is it not preferable for nine guilty men to walk free than for one innocent man to be wrongfully imprisoned?
So true Alex, I don’t like it when they condemn a man to death when there is much doubt whether he is guilty.
I also really agree with you, Pamela.
…and you have a beautiful painting here, Pamela.
I just said that I do not agree with the death penalty. As everyone expects and they said, a fair trial must be upheld. Those who are innocent or otherwise found guilty of a non-commercial or not commercialized court system by any interest of certain party must receive appropriate rewards. The innocent must be set free and the guilty should be punished. Entering the current Christmas atmosphere, and the person who will be commemorated for his presence has taught us to get out of the paradigm, eyes paid with eyes and teeth for teeth. We who follow his teachings agree when worshiping, believing and saying “amen” to it. But outside the house of worship, we are more satisfied if our ego is obeyed.
You are certainly very wise and totally agree with you on that.
Beautiful work, Pamela! I’m not very familiar with this case, but I agree with you: everyone should have a fair trial.
Thanks Ellie, my friend told me about him and she believes he is innocent. I don’t believe anyone until I know all the facts, but I believe in being fair.
We have the same law in the US, but with a provisionary statement. ‘A man is innocent unless proven guilty in a court of his peers.’ The last 6 words mean that innocent people still end up in prison and guilty ones can still walk free. Some lawyers are exceptionally clever at convincing the jury of the guilt or innocence of the person on trial.
Thanks so much Rex. It would be great if fairness and a desire for the real truth was first and foremost.
