First, it violates a defendant's due process. The Constitution guarantees every person has the right to a fair trial on the federal level. A convicted murderer is not getting the same fair trial in Mississippi as he would in New York.
Defendant's may plead guilty to avoid the death penalty.
A defendant's defence may argue for life in prison without parole, to avoid the death penalty.
This shows legal capital punishment has a domino effect that affects the defence's argument, the defendant's plea, the jury's verdict, and the sentencing.
State's rights/laws should never have any influence over the plea, verdict, and sentencing in a criminal trial.
The Buffalo shooter can also plead guilty; meanwhile, he doesn't have to hire any legal team or have a defence of any kind, and by default, without a defence, the State gives life in prison without parole.
Meanwhile, the Florida shooter Nicolas Cruz's defence is forced to only argue for life in prison without parole. There is no room for error. If they fight for lighter sentencing than life in prison without parole, and lose, he is sentenced to death.
Meanwhile, the Buffalo shooter's defence is free to take risks in a sentencing trial, and perhaps fight for parole, or reduced prison time. With Cruz's team, there is no room for error; they're forced to fight for avoiding the death penalty.
Thus, Defendants in a murder trial where death penalty is legal should be allowed to appeal their case and be tried again in a new trial where death penalty is already off the table.
Criminal trials involving murder are too serious that they surpass any one state's laws regarding sentencing and punishment; therefore, I believe defendant should be able to pick by which state's laws they want the trial to operate.
If you murder in Florida and you murder in New York, the criminals should be getting the exact same trial standard. That's not the case right now (literally, case, haha). Obviously the the direction in which the trial goes is being influenced by the state which is a Constitutional violation to due process.
Also, the fact that the government can legally lynch a person is ****ing nuts. This is not a thing that should be happening in 2022.
Interesting, never watched it under the aspect of unequal trials.
But true, if States apply different rules it certainly leads to different trials and different defence strategies.
Apart of that:
Death Penalty violates Human Rights !
And human rights are valid across the world, even if some countries ignore them.
Killing and torturing are crimes…with or without Amendments.
The
hang 'em and flog 'em brigade
may argue some have forfeited their humanity through their evil deeds.
Similarly, the Nazis justified the Holocaust: Jews weren't humans. -

People (if you can call them that, they're monsters, actually) who would torture a child to death, a child who depends on them and who cannot defend themself, deserves no consideration
Are you familiar with
The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez
? Or what happened to Adrian Jones? Gabriel's mother is miserable in prison… I guess she thought she could torture Gabriel indefinitely since she was able to get away with it for several months while the people being paid to protect him looked the other way
Life was good for all the degenerates when they were torturing children… such a pity that they've lost their freedom and that some kind of justice was served for the suffering they inflicted

Go back to your Texas-thread and celebrate the next death sentence.
Your reasoning reminds to Roland Freisler. ☻ -
