X Factor said:You have a point. To death penalty opponents, guilt or innocence has to be irrelevant. However, for those who are arguing this is a gross miscarriage of justice...well it is that only if he's not guilty.
Regardless if he is guilty or innocent, state-sponsored murder is a miscarriage of justice. And anyway, it's more cost effective to put someone behind bars for life.
At least if this individual were sentenced to life, he would be alive while further proof of his innocence is being gathered. Executions, in my mind, are supposed to happen when there is ZERO DOUBT of guilt.
In this case, Georgia is being stupid and pigheaded.
