We have a criminal ordsprog
 We have a criminal system that makes mistakes. If you accept that proposition, that means you have to be prepared for the inevitability that some are sentenced to death for crimes they didn't commit, |

| I then became a defense lawyer and saw the system go wrong, saw innocent people convicted and sentenced to death, and people who were certainly guilty, but who had not committed crimes as grave as the punishment. |
| Allen is sentenced to death for crimes he committed two decades ago while he was a very cold, calculating man. Every court has unanimously agreed there is no legal basis why the death penalty should not be applied to him. |
| By their very nature, these kinds of crimes attack the integrity of the judicial system, ... Indeed, that's why they're crimes. To argue that in certain instances these crimes mean little is to say our judicial system means little. I reject that notion. |
| In the American criminal system, we can have a conspiracy doctrine because we have this unique set of vibrant protections. But when it comes to war-crimes trials, the international consensus is that conspiracy is a no-no. When the U.S. Congress itself defined war crimes in two statutes in 1996 and 1997, it didn't include conspiracy. |
| Violent crimes in our courthouses must cease and those who commit these heinous crimes must be punished accordingly, including the death penalty for murdering judges, law enforcement officials or their families, |

| Saddam will have a very just and fair trial in Iraq, ... Now he is enjoying all kinds of freedom for a prisoner -- he has television, radio with him, books, he can write, he can read, he can contact everyone. But Saddam Hussein is a war criminal. He committed crimes against the Iraqi people, against our neighbors, against Iranians, against Kuwaitis. For that I think he will deserve to be presented to the court as a war criminal and when this is sentenced, the sentence must be respected. |
| I was horrified at what I saw going on in the prison system. People were serving life terms for crimes they didn't commit. Lives were wasting away. |
| Brian Dugan's crimes -- and the murder of Jeanine was not the only one -- are horrific. But I hope that whoever ultimately decides Brian Dugan's fate bears in mind that he also had the moral courage to accept responsibility for a crime he alone committed, even though he knew that the blame had fallen elsewhere. In so doing he set in motion the chain of events that ultimately allowed two innocent men who had been sentenced to death to be restored to freedom. Dugan's evil deeds are extraordinary and repugnant, but his courage also was extraordinary. |
| He would have been sentenced to death if I didn't get him free. |
| It's very discouraging to know that in the criminal justice system the people in control don't have time - many times they don't have any information, many times they're overwhelmed by the politics of something, like the death penalty, to seriously want to reform a criminal justice system that they have some control over. |
