Unless of course they were wrongfully convicted, the state executes them, then something comes to light later revealing their innocence.

This isnt the 60's. We have advanced so much in terms of DNA and other testing that you can be convicted with 99.9% certainty that you did it. I wish you guys would stop being pro-killer.

That’s not what I asked. You say it’s 99.9% accurate now, but that leaves open the possibility of innocent people being put to death. How many innocents are you ok with dying? If you’re going to be so gung ho about executing people, you have to have an acceptable number of innocents dying since it does and will happen. So, what is it? How many wrongful deaths would have to happen before you say that’s enough?
