It happend on 20 March 1995, during rush hour. It killed 13 people, severely injuring 50 (some of whom later died) and causing temporary vision problems for nearly 1,000 others. Its leader, whose name I’m not gonna mention (you can read it if you want), was executed on July 6, 2018 by hanging.
In other words, after attack, the perpetrators got to live another 23 years
That’s the dilemma with legal proceedings.
If we want everyone to have a fair trial and allow appeals process, things take too long.
But if we allow things to be rushed, innocent people could get executed.
Innocent people still get murdered by the state. Just look at Texas, Arkansas, and Mississippi. Plus throw Georgia in there.
That’s why the death penalty is abhorrent. Even one innocent person murdered by the state is too high of a cost to bear.
Which doesn’t mean we should make it so more innocent people die.
