Crime and Redemption
I don't have much of an opinion on execution sentence of Stanely Tookie Williams. There are too many variables to weigh in to this complex scenario. Has this man found himself and is anew? Or is he trying to live another day? I agree the system is not 100% perfect in its rulings, but at the same time I believe that there would be a consensus that this system is preferential to other justice systems.
In the end, if he has committed no crime then he has nothing to fear before the judgement of his creator. I think this is a moral dilemna for a Christian. If a man is killed and is truly guilty then his punishment of death is a severe judgement but would pale in comparison to the Lord's wrath But if that man is innocent and executed then what does God feel about those that put that man to death?
I would like to clearly state that my opinion here is biased on a Christian view since I grew up with the belief in God. I'm curious how other cultures and religions view this type of predicament.
