A long time ago I used to like Americans....That was before I realized that half the country were redneck theocrats who voted for W over Gore....

Yeah, yeah, the death penalty. Fine.

But if someone told me today I face either 27 years in a federal penitentiary for a crime I did not commit, or the death penalty…what difference would it make?

This shit shouldn’t happen at all, period. Americans are morons. They’ll convict anyone. Someone’s got to pay. They don’t much care who. Hello, that’s why we’re in Iraq!

27 years is for all practical purposes a death sentence. Anything above 20 years, yeah, that's pretty much the end for you, you don't have much time after that. It may be more civilized but it's certainly nothing to brush over. Especially whenever it's given to innocent people.

Whenever it's given to minor drug dealers/addicts it's almost as bad though.
