      Not even then. There are countless examples of corrupt prosecutors pushing through convictions because they want a win, even when it was clear the accused was innocent.

      Without an absolutely perfect system of justice, I’m not willing to trust the state with executions in any circumstances.

        If you give the state a reason they’re allowed to kill people they’ll find a reason to argue that the people they don’t like fit that reason

          Yeah at a certain point (late 30s in my case) you start to doubt all these people, who knew the authorities were mad at them, had had warrants executed previously, had child porn on their computer. It’s like the “sprinkle crack on him” for politics
