The above statement ignores the fact that many people have confessed to crimes which they did not commit. I know a guy who admitted to a crime he did not commit after enduring a 12 hour interrogation in which he was sleep deprived and too young to really think things through. Rivera is almost certainly guilty, but experience proves that oftentimes the "clear cut" cases are not what they seem.

8 year olds are old enough to recognize that when they fire a gun at someone, they can kill them. Should we start executing 8 year olds?

Are you familiar with the legal system, or are you basing your opinion on news articles written by people who are not legal scholars? No offense intended, but people who think that our legal system makes no sense are usually the very same people who have the least amount of experience with and knowledge of the legal system.

That's probably true, but would you want to live in that kind of police state? I'm surprised that you have so little regard for our constitution.
