Maybe I should rephrase - "You murder, you die for it." Killing in self-defense, murder by complicity, and accidental killing ARE NOT murder. They do not fall under legal definition of murder.
actually - USA Prisons are one big vacation because criminals who go there do not have decent life in public. They do not have any money, no shelter, no food, nothing. That's why they commit senseless crimes because they just don't care anymore. Prisons are their sanctuary.

The possibility exists that innocent men and women may be put to death. There are several documented cases where DNA testing showed that innocent people were put to death by the government. We have an imperfect justice system where poor defendants are given minimal legal attention by often lesser qualified individuals. We can't risk mistakes. What if the wrong person get sent to prison for the crime he or she didn't do? then what? that kind scary.
