The Real Reason to End the Death Penalty
19 hours ago
- The debate about the death penalty is actually about killing innocent people, as at least 4% of death row inmates are innocent.
- Wrongful murder convictions are very common due to police pressure, prosecutorial misconduct, incompetent defense attorneys, false witnesses, and bogus experts.
- Many cases illustrate this, such as Kenneth Adams, Keith Harward, Ricky Jackson, Alfred Brown, Glenn Ford, and Cameron Willingham, who was executed despite evidence of innocence.
- The real issue is that capital punishment in practice means killing innocent people, regardless of theoretical justifications.
