    There’s never a good justification for the death penalty. Executions are never justice. It’s always vengeance. Guilt is preferred, but not required.

    We are all of us complicit in the death of innocent people. I don’t know if this man was innocent or guilty, but I do know for certain that we have executed innocent people. There is no support for the death penalty without acknowledging that it requires killing innocent people.

      How are they vengeful against an innocent? This is just a systemic failure and all involved needs to be audited.

      He was innocent. The guy who implicated him even said so.
