Reading about it I am not completly convinced that he is innocent, but I think that there is 100% plausible reason to doubt that he is guilty. This should defintly be enough to stop an execution.
Edit: Maybe read the whole statement before getting a rage fit? I said he shouldn't have been killed. I am also not moderate and (according to US standards) I am apparently not white as a muslim turkish person.
I'm convinced he is innocent. If he was not they would have evidence instead of paid testimonies against him.
Maybe you should have read my whole statement before writing this wall of text?
I am just arguing about his case within the local law. Not about the sanity of the local within moral boundaries. So we two are having two different arguments here.
they're agreeing with you and taking it further, i'm pretty sure
That's fine with a sentence of a couple years. But for how hard we've seen it become to commute a sentence, we need to be 100% sure for the death penalty.
I basically said that it is not okay, maybe you should have read the second sentence as well. But even with a "sentence of a couple years", guilt has to be profen, not innocence. If there is plausible doubt of guilt, there shouldn't be a guilty sentence.
Yeah, sorry it's just worded weirdly and I didn't get that you were referencing the reasonable doubt standard.
Is "almost" anywhere in your definition of conviction? If so, you lack conviction.
