Anyway the answer of course, is that in the case of the death penalty, the downside to the remedy of turning the error rate into zero is that the convicted get life in prison.

my question is not applicable today and might never be, but if it cost substantialy more to incarcerate someone for life as opposed to executing them (say 10 to 1), would most people here be willing to tolerate more error or at least some?
