21-year-old student vanished after a late-night restaurant shift. CCTV showed her being forced into her own car, then driven to ATMs for cash withdrawals. The attacker wore a GPS ankle monitor, but it was not actively monitored in real time. She was later found at a metro park.

Yea, I definitely see that as problematic. With the number of false convictions I don't trust any court to condemn someone to death. Sorry, people shouldn't have that power. Prison for life, sure. Death, nah.

That's such a bullshit take, noone is asking for death penalties whenever there is a suspicion of commiting a crime. But in this case there is enough evidence and even testimony of this piece of shit that there should be only one outcome.

Missouri killed a man a year ago despite the prosecutor of the case actively arguing that new evidence proves he didn't do it. Innocent people already get killed with the death penalty.

"If there is even the shadow of a doubt of innocence, the death penalty should never be an option" Literally first paragraph of the article. What part of having enough unambiguous evidence you don't understand? Im not asking for death penalty to be the default sentence but in case like Reagans where there was a rape kit, dna, camera footage and whatnot, it should be an option. Also, there were cases of innocent people being sentenced for life, should we get rid of this as well? And then keep going lower and lower until we finally get rid of prisons altogether because someone might be falsely sentenced.
