How many men have we put to death in similar cases involving murder? We don't know, but there's no reason to think that the justice system is any more accurate in death penalty cases than rape cases.
Our justice system doesn't prove that people are guilty. This man was found guilty, but he was clearly innocent based on DNA evidence. Poor people, like this man, who can't afford good legal help, are the most vulnerable false conviction. Economic status is just as important to conviction as actual guilt or innocence. O.J. Anyone?
The death penalty is a cruel, sadistic joke imposed by self-righteous, holier-than-thou moralists on the innocent and guilty alike.
Death Penalty Cases are not more accurate than this case
