[QUOTE="Ethan N, post: 3229788, member: 29267"] Or we can address the underlying problems in our system and culture. Of course, the video evidence criteria I laid out would be an uncommon scenario, but could certainly happen in the case of a shooting in a mall or any shooting where the perpetrator is apprehended by any person without leaving the view of security cameras. I’m fully aware my views would exclude the death penalty in many cases where we can be reasonably assured the defendant is guilty. That’s the point. There have been too many cases where we were reasonably assured the defendant was guilty, but they weren’t guilty. There are systemic problems that need to be addressed. Until they are, I want a massive buffer between the state and execution. It’s a greater injustice to punish an innocent man than to let a guilty man go free. And we’re not even talking about letting anyone go free. Just not executing them – the most extreme and final act of punishment we can inflict. [/QUOTE]
