I'm not for the death penalty either, but I'd be happy to look away and turn a blind eye in this case.

and then get released because he is now a nice person...

If it was ever to be used, it would have to be in circumstances where there is absolutely no question of guilt, e.g. the crime was committed openly in a public place.

You can't even 100% trust video footage these days.

It was definitely the boyfriend.
He has a record of violence. But maybe she didn't know. :sad:
