You can give a guy 100 chance to take another look. Largely it won't matter. Time does, though. Both in terms of new technology and in terms of distance from reaction.

Well, aside from one being alive and one being dead. But, yeah, completely the same?

Quote:Let me ask you which do you think happens more:


An innocent person is executed or an inmate that commits a crime such as murder, kills someone in prison? Hell some of them killed might be innocent or have committed a lesser crime.

I don't know, and that's just a distraction. If you want to get into all the foibles and errors a prison can make, I'm not interested. The idea that it's better to kill potentially innocent people than to let them spend years in prison hoping for a correction is beyond absurd.
