"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

The Innocence Project has gotten almost 400 people out of prison via bad trials and DNA .97 percent were charged with rape or murder. How many innocent people have been executed? Executing people puts us with the brutal nations of the world. https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-...ound-the-world
No. I know that sounds harsh, but the reality is mistakes are going to happen. If the system in place is being as thorough as it can to ensure that doesn't happen, then it is working. Yes, we should still improve on that where possible but we shouldn't let a mistake by it rule the system. To change the old saying a bit. It isn't better that ten guilty men go free rather than a innocent man go to prison... That's more the case we're talking about today.
Look at what's happening with those cities that are ending cash bail bonds and just letting criminals out of jail once arraigned and charged.
400 out of what, millions of cases? There are over 1.2 million locked up in the US today. Four hundred doesn't amount to one in ten thousand cases. That's really an infinitesimally small portion. I'd say the system is doing pretty damn good to have that few errors in it.
What percentage of innocent people being jailed for decades and then executed reaches your threshold. How many innocent have suffered in an unimaginably cruel way? I bet you can guess the Project cannot defend all. There are many more suffering and who will be killed. There are many innocent we killed. Do you really think that is OK?
Just put them in jail for life. Problem solved.
The underpinning, uncivilized, flaw in the death penalty is that the authorities want to kill.
