Nor, if a single innocent person was or is to be executed, can/could that be rectified.
And that's where we differ. There are crimes that are quite heinous enough, and where the perp is known with quite enough certainty, that the only answer is the death penalty.

Remember Jeffrey Dalmer (sp?)?
Human body parts in his refrigerator. Bodies buried on his lot. The cops even returned a naked kid to him that they found running in the street screaming he was going to be killed. (Slight screw-up by the cops, yeah :-) )

How about Richard Allen Davis? Eyewitness testimony. And the witness got a good look. Previous child molestation convictions.
He was stopped in the area in which the body was ultimately found by the cops while he had Polly Klaas in his car.
He led the police to Polly's body- -which they had been unable to find during a long search. How did he know where it was?

There was that guy who chopped the arms off a woman in CA, served time, was released, and went to FL and killed another woman.

So they were innocent? And didn't deserve a death penalty? How many people do you have to kill before you do?
