Anyone who could do that once, could do it again. This is the only reason for execution, so the killer can never do it again.

Mulholland D, This story may not have made the national news, but it was big news in the Detroit area a few weeks ago. We had a stepmom beat, torture, and kill her 2 year old stepdaughter. Duct-taped her mouth, burned her with a lighter, and hit her so many times that she died from blunt trauma. Its just beyond my comprehension. I just cannot understand it. She will be sentenced soon, but it won't be enough. TH

Here's another study where the authors mistakenly assume that a convicted murderer released from prison did not actually commit the crime. One can see their point if the 'real' murderer was caught as part of the exoneration process. But most of the cases are post trial hearings, where appeals lawyers successfully attack the judge's trial decisions and the credibility of witnesses. It looks like they even include political pardons as exonerations. law.umich.edu
