His logic there is not wrong. But the devil is in the details of what reforms he implemented.

If you let anyone out ever, someday with someone it’s going to result in a bad result. Execute all criminals would be the only way to avoid that, and then you run into the opposite extreme where you execute an innocent but convicted man.

The world is not perfect.

No one is executed without a trial, and then appeals. The process takes years. So I would say the chance of an innocent person being executed is way smaller then the chance of an innocent person dying at the hands of a convicted criminal. Those innocent victims do not have a trial nor appeal, they are just dead.

So I don’t buy the argument we can not execute people because somehow someway and innocent person may die.

Well we all face death every day
