Default Re: Two Death Penalty Questiosns

I'm willing to accept whatever the existing error rate is with an eye towards continuing to improve upon the system. As we do in other things:

What error rate would you accept for wrongly convicting a child molester?

What error rate would you accept for air travel fatalities?

Why should we need a lower tolerance for error when dealing with the death penalty?

So my answer is: Whatever the existing rate happens to be.
