2. even if they were smuggling drugs

Fri Dec 5, 2025, 08:35 AM

Friday

and we had the iron clad proof... since when was drug smuggling a capital crime?

Can someone point to the law that says "if convicted by a jury the judge can impose the death penalty..."

BTW, this isn't about drugs... since Trump has been President he has pardoned TWO convicted massive drug smugglers ( actual cartel like kingpins of the drug world ).
