LazerLordz SG If you can convince Singapore to accept the jurisdiction of the ICJ in this matter, and subsequently secure a standing legal order to halt the execution by the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights under the said and accepted argument that the death penalty is barbaric and unconstitutional due to its mandatory nature. Do not forget to mention also, you have to make a case that the mandatory death sentence shifts and removes a large element of having to prove actual guilt and to concur that this case was not a fair case since the onus of prosecution was said to be diluted. If you can acheive these two aims, Took will have a fair chance to live. But as long as the commutation policy for capital sentences is decided by the Cabinet, I'd place a bigger wager in the state lottery. This is one reason why mandatory punishments have to be struck off, we cannot allow Parliament and the Cabinet to pass sentence indirectly by virtue of effect of a Bill tabled into law without the Judiciary's discretionary powers to say yes or no.
LazerLordz SG The need to press for a review of capital sentencing in Singapore is very strong. It’s sad that most people will parrot the PAP’s stand without reviewing the arguments both for and against it before coming up with an informed judgement.
bryanseb SG If u r the judge, would u want ah-how to die? OR just serve his sentence in jail for life?
LazerLordz SG Personally, I would not sentence him to death. After all, the case, in my opinion, is suspicious, but sadly we do not have an extradition treaty with China. If I could, I would subpoena the girl's mother and detain her for further investigation.
mhcampboy SG like wad LL mentioned .... case is kinda vague... so no. i wont sentence him to death... or at least.... prolong and intensify the investigations..
Fatum SG why ? .. what's the big fuss here ? ... is it because you guys are against the death penalty for a child murderer, or you guys don't believe he's guilty ? ...
