You have to be careful with pastors to make sure you cook them properly, some of them are friars.

@PadraicM Like it, like it.

Of course they have rights. Not all who are condemned are even guilty.

@JonnaBononna To get an insight into what is US "justice" read "The innocent man" by John Grisham.
He relates the tale of four innocent men who were sentenced to death and spent time on death row in Oklahoma before being released. I wonder how many innocent people have been executed ?

@Moravian I saw the documentary about that case,
I also spent almost 4 years working as a social worker in what used to be known as America's bloodiest prison, Louisiana State Penitentiary, also known as Angola. I learned there the state of our "justice" system. Louisiana has the highest rate of incarceration of any state in the US, and therefore the highest rate in the world (since the US tops all other countries in incarceration). Second degree murder carries a mandatory life without parole sentence here, and Clinton's "three strikes law" paved the way for petty drug dealers, convicted three times with a relatively small amount of weed, to also get life without parole. I had a guy in one of my groups whose third conviction, for stealing a $159 jacket, earned him life without parole- his other 2 convictions were for car burglary, so no violent crimes. We also have about 1500 people serving life without parole who were not convicted by a unanimous jury. There is no justice in the justice system.

@JonnaBononna Appalling. I didn't realise that it was Clinton who introduced the three strikes law. He has now gone way down in my opinion.
