A Unanimous verdict says "no doubt" - a majority verdict says that somebody on that jury has a doubt

and to further qualify my argument I would propose that for those convicted of murder by a majority verdict (where someone has a doubt) - the sentence should be "Life Imprisonment" - and I do mean life - only way out is in a coffin

Whats the old sayings.... "Better that 10 guilty men go free, than 1 innocent man hanged" and "Hangings too good for em"

And if you think that making the b......d count down every day to the sure end of his life is softly softly, - think of the torment that people with a terminal llness go through knowing that someday death is coming to them - only this way the swine will know the exact date and time of his/her death

Might give him time to reflect on his actions and may just deter the next guy
