    Louisiana death row inmate freed after 15 years – with a little help from DNA


    Quote
    His 15 years on death row opened his eyes, he says. "We tell the world that our system is the best in the world, and it's not." But he says he still supports capital punishment in America for the most heinous cases – with the proviso that the conviction is sound.

    Not so Steven Kaplan. He cites academic studies that suggest that 2% to 4% of death-row inmates are probably innocent. "If that was the rate of failure of airplanes," he says, "would you fly?"

     Great question ? More so because of all those pesky emotions that bugger up things,there's always a realistic chance that justice may not have been done in a particular case,in which case society would be guilty of having killed an innocent person!

    Yes that is one of the "killer" arguments against the death penalty. It's just too damned inconsistent.

    The death penalty is completely irrational and illogical. The practice will eventually die out. When is the question.
