“I support the death penalty. I think that it has to be administered not only fairly, with attention to things like DNA evidence, which I think should be used in all capital cases, but also with very careful attention. If the wrong guy is put to death, then that's a double tragedy. Not only has an innocent person been executed but the real perpetrator of the crime has not been held accountable for it, and in some cases may be still at large. But I support the death penalty in the most heinous cases.” IfsThinkingShouldMayPersonsStillsRealUsedGuyAttentionCasesSupportCrimeEvidenceTragedyCarefulInnocentPenaltiesDnaDeath PenaltyPerpetratorsInnocent PersonWrong GuyDna Evidence Author:Al Gore

“(Pete) Rose's coming clean is the most soiled conversion of convenience since ... well, Aug. 17, 1998, when DNA evidence caused Bill Clinton to undergo a memory clarification.

“The biggest government waste: The death penalty. An individual death-penalty case could climb to $100 million, much of it spent at the litigation level.

“Basically, "Making a Murderer" chronicles a set of crimes committed in Wisconsin: Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The first crime is a miscarriage of justice.

“In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again.

“...We then examine a particular coding system in DNA and discover that UI [universal information] is conveyed within the genes. Using this DNA evidence and scientific laws governing UI as premises, we are able to develop sound, logical deductions. This leads us to the following conclusion: the God of the Bible exists and He is responsible for originating and embedding Universal Information into biological life.” AbleLawSoundAtheismInformationParticularEvidenceUniversalResponsibleFollowingConclusionLogicalGenesDnaPremisesGoverningDeductionsDna EvidenceEmbedding Author:Werner Gitt
