Well they better fix it before the next one gets executed, right?

I don’t believe, even for a second, that 50% or even 5% are wrongly convicted. But if there is a problem, it is not the with the penalty, and trying to fix it at that end accomplishes nothing.
And, if there is a problem with wrongful convictions, executions are proceeding so slowly that they probably have plenty of time to fix it, too.

That's a great attitude. Let god sort em out eh?

DNA testing was the beginning of the end of the death penalty in America. A group of *grad students* in illinois were able to show that 13 out of the 170 people were innocent. Doesn't say much for the American judicial system does it?
