Saying the legal system, being a system, can not be perfect means anyone supporting the death penalty supports killing innocent people is bullshit.
Quote:
First, the legal system deals with more than death penalty cases. Second, attention and care is allocated by the seriousness of the consequences. Traffic tickets, you pay or go to court, lose and you have one appeal. Death penalty cases are long and complicated with many mandatory appeals and reviews, designed to check and correct any mistakes along the way. It would take a bunch of mistakes, unchecked and uncorrected, and that's not happening. I can make wrong turns on the way to work and still get to the right place. So no, I don't buy because it's not 100% infallible they are going to execute any innocent people. That is not a given. Quote:

You can object to the Death penalty on moral grounds, if you wish, but the basis of executing innocents doesn't pass muster.
