What about the 99.9% of the criminals rightly convicted? If somebody kidnaps your five year old daughter, rapes her tiny little virgin hole, slits her throat, chops her up into pieces, leaves her in the desert for the birds eat, then gets convicted by a jury with "no reasonable doubt" of his guilt, are you gonna plead for this man's life because you think there is a slight chance he was wrongly convicted? Hell no. You want the son of a bitch to die. Just like he made your innocent daughter die. Oh, he's mentally retarded too. I guess since he was obviously too much of a dumbfuck to realize what he was doing, he should be given leniency. After all, the killer shark that killed and maimed people shouldn't be killed either since it's IQ is much lower than a retarded human's and it didn't realize what it was doing or the full consequences of its actions..
