What's the crime and is this justified?
I am not against death penalty I just don't trust any regime to be dishing it out since we know how our dear leaders use such power
Distrusting the government is one of the biggest reasons people say they’re against the death penalty.
Yeah because previous adminstrations have never abused their position of power to murder innocent people.
