Re: Death Penalty Article

To meet the objection that too many murderers will be set free, I am going to do a little math. How horrible is it to send a murderer back on the street?
Now let's guess that in the next year, given the standards of proof we presently employ, 100 innocent dependents will be convicted of capital murder in this country. If we tightened those standards to avoid those convictions, how many guilty persons would also be acquitted? Many more than 1,000 I'd say. Let's use 1,200.
