Really?
How about the 18 death row inmates who have been exonerated due to DNA evidence?
Louisiana death row inmate 300th prisoner freed by DNA evidence - latimes
Quote:
A Louisiana man was released from death row on Friday after serving 15 years for a crime that DNA evidence shows he did not commit.
Damon Thibodeaux, 38, was the 300th prisoner nationwide to see his conviction overturned based on DNA evidence, according to lawyers who represented him from the New York-based Innocence Project.
He was the 18th death row prisoner freed based on such evidence.

Doesn't that even make you wonder, how many other innocent people have been executed over the years...
before DNA?
Do you think that those innocent people executed, is just a
'cost of doing business'... and should be accepted?
Another question for you, do you also believe that if a person is arrested, charged and brought to trial...then they must be guilty or they wouldn't be on trial?
