[QUOTE="swamprat_basic"][QUOTE="MuddVader"] I don't think they murder people if they aren't sure that they did the crime.SeraphimGoddess
There have been at least15 people released from Death Row in the United States because of DNA testing. Now imagine all of the cases where there is no DNA to be tested, or the people who were executed before DNA testing.
People have been wrongfully executed in the past:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrongful_execution
I think that says something about the entire system; not just the process of executions. Yes, but you can be released from prison if proven innocent; you can't be brought back from the dead.
