In a story by Kevin Williams of Politisite, Colonel Oliver North publicly reaffirms his opposition to the death penalty. In Williams’ article, Colonel North describes his own experience with the criminal justice system and what led him to oppose today’s system of capital punishment. He said,
I’m a “law and order” guy. Don’t get me wrong. Individuals need to be held accountable. I don’t believe in mass punishments and group responsibilities and the kinds of fuzzy-wuzzy stuff of the Left, but I have always felt… and always said that there are very serious questions about the justice of the death penalty. Just a few months ago, a man (Glenn Ford) who was on death row for thirty years was found to be innocent.
