If I understand you correctly, it seems to matter little that innocent people are executed, and by that I don�t mean those professing their innocence, but those that after their death�s have been found not guilty. If a legal system is so unsafe, surely it is unwise to pursue the death penalty. Can you really sit there and say �oh it doesn�t matter if we execute a few innocent people as long as we have the pleasure of killing those that did commit heinous crimes, such as Timothy McVeigh�?
