All of those people who were innocent are 100% guilty when convicted, it's not possible to be sentenced to anything without being 100% guilty. The argument of 'we need to be 100% sure' is very volatile. People who were innocent were considered sometime 100% guilty, like all convicts are.
I don't get why this is relevant.
Unless you can prove guilt with zero percent possibility of error, then no guilty verdict in a court can be considered 100% accurate, and as a result, it is morally wrong to hand down a punishment which is 100% irrevocable.
