Yeah I'm with you. I saw a study claiming a conservative estimate for the amount of wrongfully convicted death row folks is 4.1%. So roughly 1 in 20.

That's why I can't support the death penalty. We aren't accurate enough to use such a permanent punishment. Thats also why I take vigilante justice with a grain of salt.

But like, if we had accuracy, yeah. If ya ruin a life you ought to be punished proportionally.
