    Sure. That is how the justice system works. How the justice system should not work is him or anyone else being sentenced to be executed by the state for their crimes.

      Meh, IMO it’s totally fine when it is blatantly clear. Yes, I know it’s still subjective and I still wouldn’t trust the government with, “blatantly clear”, but my point is this guy is not a gray area.

        To me, it doesn’t matter to me how clear it is. The state should not have powers that include life and death over its citizenry, no matter how heinous the crime. That’s a step toward fascism and the U.S. is taking way too many of those steps.

          Yes, that’s why I said I still wouldn’t trust any government to do it correctly.

        They always think it’s blatantly clear until they kill a person they later find out was innocent

        Except that leaves it up to the court which has a record of wrongfully convicting people based on false or circumstantial evidence and then putting them on death row
