>The possibility of convicting an innocent person, by itself, is immaterial to the administration of justice..........< Justice is usually thought of as fairness, or correctness- IF you are convicting people who are innocent, and condemning them to die that is per se UNJUST and thus absolutely material to the administration of "justice". Humans are so flawed there really is no such thing as true justice. Since no humans are truly impartial and fair death is probably not something we should be meting out to our fellow humans. Unless we WANT to accept that level of INjustice in our society. I can no longer support that. I do not wish to be aligned any longer with that kind of potential (and actual- in all those cases of innocent and convicted people) injustice. We do not try to pretend there is any "justice" in who gets killed in car accidents. So if you want to kill people, by fiat of the state, and argue that it is ok even though accidents happen and it is unjust- all I can say is, I do NOT agree. But you want to say "accidents happen" and it is still just- quite frankly the logic of that completely escapes me.
