Default Re: This is why I\'m for the death penalty.

- Since 1973, 124 prisoners have been released in the USA after evidence emerged of their innocence of the crimes for which they were sentenced to death.

So they weren't actually "wrongfully executed" were they?

It's ironic that someone could make light of this statistic while at the same time making light of the number of appeals someone on death row gets through the process:

Regardless of that, he'll get his 15 appeals, he'll cost the state several millions just in court costs, and he'll probably still die in prison before his execution comes up

So, correct me if I'm wrong but you advocate the death penalty with fewer opportunities to ensure that the innocent aren't killed. Got it.
