Right...its a fact, not my opinion, that you are willing to accept it.

I'm curious.

If one wrongful execution is acceptable, what is the limit? What do you consider rare?

How many innocent people have to die at the hands of the state execution system before it becomes unacceptable?

Provide me with evidence that there is a huge disparity between those put to death wrongly and those who deserved it. I am certainly not going to box myself into some number game. Innocent people die all the time in many situations. I am sorry for it. It is not my place to put a limit on it. It is a very sad situation for that one person, his family and all his or her connections to the eventual death. As I stated earlier these are questions for the legal system to tackle and a moral quandry for society at large. In the meantime, I will continue to support Capital Punishment as a form of ultimate punishment. Do the time do the crime.

I never disputed the fact that it happens.
