Default Re: Two Death Penalty Questiosns

1) The important consideration is the perceived error rate, not the actual one. If it were generally accepted that only one in ten million cases were errors most people would be happy, even if the actual error rate were several percent.

2) Tried to pretend, could not manage it. Personally I think justice is a civilised form of social revenge. It feels real good to see a load of terrorists get the death penalty, doesn’t matter if they are innocent as long as I don’t find out. Guess I am just warped.
