So you take a sample group of a whooping one and take it from there? Sure, there will always be the one out where there's no doubt, but that doesn't make the case now, does it? Truth is, quite a lot of people are found innocent after being sent to death row. Lot as in more than one or two. Condemned because they hadn't any defense deserving that word or simply because they belonged to a less privileged group. And on the other hand people probably being guilty get away, like OJ. Because they could afford the best team available.
I stand by what I always used to say, kill one of my loved ones and there's no guarantee what I might do. But we, as a society, shouldn't make fatal and irreversible decisions. We might be on the receiving end one day.
