the only way i would fully support the death penalty is if the judge and jury get sentenced to death upon new evidence entered proving the dead defendent innocent.
too many mistakes, if the rightful conviction rate even approached 100% i would be all for it.
but this legal system, you've gotta be kidding me.
one example is too many, the one that sticks out for me is the guy in ontario wrongly jailed for 23 years, and 10 of those years after DNA evidence had cleared him.
if he spends 10 years in the can for no reason but the horrendous legal system, then i see no reason to extend the power of life and death to such a disastrous gong show.
