>>I have no faith in the justice system from personal experience. And I say it is WRONG
to execute one innocent person to get back at the other 99 who are guilty. Such a
system is immoral and must be destroyed. Public opnion be damned<<
Have to disagree. In an imperfect world, citizens are required to take certain risks in exchange for relative safety. One has to remember, far, far more innocent lives have been taken by convicted murders than innocent people mistakenly executed. Every institution that is of great benefit to society always contain risks so that we may enjoy a better world. The death penalty happens to be the least dangerous of them, yet it is focused on with the most paranoia.
In war, innocent people are killed quite frequently. Didn't seem to hinder the United States in its battles over the years. Numerous people have a tendency to treat enourmous human death tolls as though they were less tragic than smaller onces.
