 So are you saying you are lazy.  Some one (I am not sure who) made the
 claim that 70 people had been wrongful put to death in the USA.  All I
 did was ask for proof.  Something you all don't seem to have ANY of.
 The A.C.L.U. is that the American Civil Liars Union?

Paul Robson:
 ROFL !

 Our tabloid newspapers in England do this sometimes. Someone been in
 Jail for Murder for 25 years - but twenty people saw him in a pub a hundred
 miles away. Well, they could all have been lying, or it was his missing
 identical twin, or a cloning experiment... if you want to you can argue
 *anyone* to be guilty of anything. Lots of people have been hanged who
 were innocent in Britain, and no doubt many more would have been if
 we hadn't abolished the death penalty thirty odd years ago. In fact, some of
 the cases (Birmingham Six) that were used by the press to whip up a
 furore to attempt to reinstate capital punishment have since proven to
 be miscarriages of justice.

 Even I know ACLU = Americal Civil Liberties Union. Perhaps Lenny thinks
 their opinion has no value , perhaps because they have presuppositional
bias.
