Before the trial started, we had some good debates about the pros + cons of DP versus LWOP. Those were some good and interesting discussions.

Interesting! I'd love to read them. Could you tell me where I can find them?
TYIA!!
I remember we had lots of good discussions about this on different days however we didnt create a separate thread so the posts are scattered throughout the multiple threads for both "Retrial" and "Sidebar" threads.
I think some of the discussions took place right around the beginning of this phase and right before since we were waiting for this phase to start and that subject came up often. I think we even talked about it periodically while this phase has been going on.
There is an "Advanced Search" feature although whenever I try to use it I get very confused with how to properly search specific threads or groups of threads.
The keywords of "DP", "Death Penalty", "LWOP", "LWP" could possibly be used in the search feature although these keywords come up often so it would be tough to find the specific days where we had some good discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of either DP or LWOP.
Cost, privileges of the inmate, guaranteed automatic appeals, statistics of actual DP sentence being carried out, death row VS general population, victim's family issues, etc. were all discussed at one time or another and it was quite interesting.
Sorry there is not 1 place I can point you to. The topic came up at various times on different days. Primarily in the Retrial and Sidebar threads.
