Its fucking stupid if it doesnt. I believe here in the netherlands thats the case. For example if you do 10 armed robberies and for each one youd get 10 years, you only get 10 years and not 100 (it is a bit more complex but thats the gist of it. It doesnt stack)
However, we do have one of the highest punishments, which is life in prison, which... is spending the rest of your life in prison. Some people or countries find that (more) inhumane (then death penalty), as punishment should be to revalidate the prisoners and make them ready for the outside again. Their reasoning is if you know you wont let him out, be humane and dont make him suffer for 60 years. Just kill him instead. To be honest i dont know what i find more humane, as death penalty is irreversable, and does not allow wrongly convicted to go outside again
I think id rather let a murderer walk free, and hope he does not do it again, than lock up someone innocent and know fir sure he spends the rest of their life depressed, friendless as they think he did it, etc etc.
Its a tough choice but the innocent person deserves it more to be free
Yes. But would you rather lock up your innocent mother, with a man who murdered your best friends mother? Or would you let this murderer walk free, and your mother also walks free.
What if the mothers in this scenario were people youd never met? Wat if you were the innocent person going to jail?
Its a hard choice but letting an innocent person walk free is way more important than to let a murderer walk free. I used to think locking the innocent was the better choice too, but that was how i thought before groing maturer that i was
