Ok, I concede the possibility but not the probability. Going looking for the study. Will write. Realistically, of all the people executed in the United States since capital punishment was reinstated, I presume at least one was, or may have been innocent of the specific crime for which execution was performed. I hate that for him/her/whoever. But, given a ban on capital punishment, what would you have us do with the others? We've tried to leave retribution behind. Vengeance is no longer acceptable. Do you not see lifelong imprisonment as torture? Obviously you've not done time ~ innocent or guilty! Shouldn't execution be seen as more merciful than life with no possibility of parole? Or do we obtain some mysterious form of gratification knowing that Charles Manson is still alive but still locked up and likely will be until his natural death.
