jsslatic Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Barbaric and sad. She's stupid for getting involved in it, but of course execution is not deserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 She must have known if she got caught she was going to get the death penalty. no matter how ultimate the deterrent some people will still take the risk. But by highlighting these cases it could make a few more people stop and think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ritchie Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Should make her take all the coke at once. See how she likes it. ......../ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'd say it's like walking pissed through a rough estate late at night waving a wad of cash around. It doesn't make it right that you get robbed, but it was bloody predictable that you would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scratch2000uk Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Can't defend the crime, but the death penalty seems a little harsh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I don't know the facts of the case but is there any suggestion she isn't actually a victim of other more powerful criminals? Don't really care. The death sentence is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Surprisingly in the case of a Westerner getting caught doing stuff in a foreign country and facing a very stiff (accidental joke there) sentence, there is I just read about this case. Whether she did it on her own or was coerced (as she claims) is immaterial. The prosecution asked for 15 years. The problem with the death sentence in this case is the judge's motivation (it's politically expedient for him rather than just). The public demand for retribution is entirely legitimate in certain cases, but not in drugs cases; and I have no problem with penal codes that include the ultimate sanction, as long as no human beings are involved at any stage. They ALWAYS screw it up in this way or that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsleftfoot Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 She should be punished but not by the death sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangerinedreams Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Coerced- with the help of 10,000 fat ones (possibly), I'm sure she would have been living a life that she probably isn't used to had the contraband been successfully smuggled, it wasn't: good, although I think the firing squad is a tad harsh- 25 years imprisonment (that may see her off anyway), I suppose the government didn't want to pay for her upkeep- why should they? :censored:s sake if I had my way there'd be a fair few already bit the lead with another few having their last meal- that'd be :censored: all fancy neither!!

OldhamSheridan Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Just make her eat whatever she was caught with. Worked with me and my dad's jazz mags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
