You are not calculating pot odds. Freeing a guilty child molestor is much worse than letting someone who might deserve to die, rot in prison.

So you say. Logically, this would seem an indisputable statement, but it still must be classed as opinion. I'm sure you could find a parent somewhere who would be willing to let a child "molestor" go free, if it would mean their child's "killer" be put to death.

What I'm saying is don't let child molestors go free, but also be willing to accept the current risk that an innocent might wrongly be executed, with an eye toward implenting ways to reduce errors (we have come a long way scientifically, but I acknowledge our judicial system has some ways to go towards achieving this. But hey, it's still the best process in the world and I wouldn't trade it for any other country's).

It sounds like you already have an answer to your question and want to impose it on me. It's ok for you to choose zero. But if mine is some higher percentage, it doesn't mean I suffer from fuzzy thinking.
