That is the one problem with executing people. Even one mistake is too many. It cannot be reversed. If someone is in prison, they can be freed. An executed prisoner cannot be brought back to life.

As Lumbergh would say in
Office Space: "Ahh, I'm going to have to disagree with you there."
There are many, many open and shut cases where they clearly have convicted the right person.
There will never be new evidence for Joseph Smith
http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/03/15/ta...ion/index.html. Smith is a human p.o.s. and the death penalty is appropriate. No, this is where the I show Liberals the door. Talk to me about not drilling in ANWAR, or wind farms, or saving hippos in the Congo, but child predators caught on videotape get the needle in the paw.
Carlie Brucia cannot be brought back to life either.
