No, you are wrong. I can answer it any way I choose and you are free to read into it. I don't have to answer it any way other than I did. I fully support the Death Penalty as punishment. I have not "palmed" it off on anyone. I have stated that it remains a moral delima for the legal system and society at large when innocent victims are accidently put to death by the system. I have not shirked my responsiblity for my position, merely stated the facts as they now exist.
