for those who are for capital punish ment even though they admit an innocent man may be put to death
i know ALMOST all people put to death are guilty
there are flaws in the system.
1) would you still be for it if this rare occurance happend to you?
you are person A
person B kills person C.
person B then plant incriminating eveidens with person A's dna
person A is convited and sentanced to death
would you still be for the death penalty?
2) what is a acceptable ratio of innocent men to guilty men on death row (by innocent i mean wrongfully convicted)
note: anything i see as a non-answer will be reported

if you are smart enought you can tell this has nothing to do with abortion or capital punishment but rather it deals with corrupt moral reasoning
foe example in part 2 a few people gloss over that point made about wrongfully convicted men

good question.
i only wish i had a good answer.
there is no acceptable ratio of innocent lives and yes i am pro death penalty. i don't know though what can be done about it.
i would hate to have to be a juror on one of those trials.
i mean there's always the possibility you are wrong. even if it's one in a million it's still a possibility.

I can truly see merits in the argument for and against the death penalty. As far as your question 1.
I believe if I live a moral life ( no affairs, no theft, cheating people ect.) I have about 1 a billion odds of being framed implicated in a murder. In light of this I'm willing take the those odds to reduce the number of murders without wasting Millions of dollars of tax payer money.
As far as #2
This is a tough issue and where I begin to waiver on the death penalty. Truth is the very measures taken to prevent innocent executions are so extensive these days they defeat the purpose which is to remove these horrible people from society with as Little cost to society as possible.
I'd be happy with one of two solutions.
Ending the death penalty but making prison a much worse place, including forcing prisoners to earn their keep with hard labor.
Or setting up a much swifter and direct appeal process for the death penalty. I believe a properly implemented process would, if anything reduce the number of innocent executions.
As far as a specific ratio I can't say , 1:100,000 executions probably acceptable 1:100 probably not acceptable. I do believe in general our justice system is effective.

1) Yes. My life will end at the appropriate time, and only then.
2) A declining one, preferably zero.
>there are about 20,000 murders annually but only 300 death sentences
>68% of capital convictions in the past 23 years have been reversed on appeal.
>about 12% of Deathrow inmates were reversed since 1973
3) Life without any option of parole is always an option.

i dont believe in the death penalty really? because i think these people could change their evil ways if they lived, one day they might see the 'light'. i think it should be up to the families of the victimes to decide whether they will have mercy on a murderer or not. and your point is lost sir. because human's are flawed, and how do you expect a christian to be perfect? the best thing to do Would be to take people like osama bin laden off the planet so they dont have a chance to kill innocent people again. is it not? christians are not perfect, and all people are flawed. the only Righteous judgement, would be God's judgement. otherwise, deal with humanity

The death penalty MUST be based on ABSOLUTE evidence and witnesses about who committed the crime. DNA alone isn't enough. So I only support death penalty under a ZILLION evidences and witnesses, other than that, don't kill the guy!
