And yes those things are called due process, it's the foundations of our justice sytem, and while I'm against the death penalty in all cases if it were to be implemented I'd like the offender to at least have his basic rights & dignity respected.

I am going to ask a very serious question to you: "Why do you think the offender should be offered his basic rights and his dignity respected" - given his involvment in the abuse and toture of Baby Peter?

Why on earth do you feel that this abusive man who inflicted torture upon a defenceless toddler should be treated with dignity? Where or why should he be afforded dignity to be bestowed upon him. Because he is a human being....and let's forget about what the nature of the man is?

Good grief.
