<Death penalty for "no doubt" convicts.. I'm fine with that.>

Eyewitness Misidentification Testimony was a factor in 75 percent of post-conviction DNA exoneration cases in the U.S., making it the leading cause of these wrongful convictions.

People see what they expect to see, "fill in the blanks" of an incomplete picture, go along with what the community or police want them to say, etc. So, even eyewitness identification isn't "no doubt".

Almost nobody would get the death penalty, if that requires "no doubt".
