This is making a good case for death penalty.


4%+ of people who receieve the death penalty are innocent. This is unacceptable.

100% of people who receive the death penalty are murdered. This is unacceptable.


murder: the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.

If a legal system grants the death penalty, it isn't murder under that legal system.


That same 4%+ would exist with or without the death penalty so the death penalty isn't the problem. It should be unacceptable that any innocent people suffer under false judgement.


Ah yes, the old "beatings aren't working, BEAT HARDER." Easier than a systemic rethink anyways.
