While wrongful imprisonment is preferable to wrongful killing, I am skeptical of our ability to repair the damage the wrongful conviction caused. In many cases those poor people have lost their families and homes, which is pretty damn hard to replace. There really isn't any way to compensate those poor people for what was taken from them, and in some cases, for decades.

This is not an argument with your point, I just wonder how well we could possibly compensate anyone for ruining their lives.

Agreed: time is irreplaceable.
