No Edward you missed a very important point, that being making a mistake is human, so no one can assure 100% that an innocent guy will not be convicted.
what if that innocent was ur son whould you just say bad luck we was innocent but what the heck it wasn't premeditated murder, the judge an jury didn't pemeditate to kill my son so bad luck, that's life.
But there's no point in pursuing this discussion, since I don't mean to change anyone way of thinking, and for certain no one will change mine.


>Wrong. You missed a very important point: premeditated murder. Don't worry: you will not be sentenced to death in a case of honest mistake. However, if you plotted to kill someone, prepared to it and killed then don't grudge if you see me on jury bench.

>>following ur line of thinking then if a innocent person was convicted to the death penalty and only after the penalty was carry out proves where discover that that person was innocent then everyone involve and everyone that convicted that person to death including jury and judge should then be sentence to death also?
>>I would say in you perspective then yes, since they killed a innocent person.
