Hm

No law is ever going to be absolutely perfect. Perhaps, if we can develop tech, with which we can just simply read suspect/s mind. You know, as to always establish those 99% odds on, whether they did it or not AND even the circumstances, which led to the crime :).

But yea. I've never been fan of this "Well, how many wrongfully convicted would be killed." defence. True, it's not entirely without merit. And that if you just imprison everyone for live. Then yes. At rare occasions, it may turn out, that the said person was in fact innocent afterall. And his life was thus spared.

But on the other hand. Being jailed for years, decades or worse, the rest of your life, may not be that much better fate. So by this same: "Pity the slim, slim minority logic", should we start making prisons into comfy 5 star hotels... so, no innocent is never, ever accidently subjected into unjust suffering? Even tho, these people would probably make like 0.1% of the entire prison population. When compared to all the rapists, murderers and other people who definitely do deserve to at the very least, suffer for their crime just a little bit :). Oh! And continue requiring constant maintenance (eat, drink, etc.), which they no longer even deserve to have.

Well, I don't believe we should. Hmph! Not that prisons aint already way too comfortable in certain parts of the world. No, I believe that we definitely should exterminate the most degenerate among us. AND definitely not coddle criminals because 1/10000 might, or might not be innocent.

It aint perfect solution. But it's better AND more just overall in my opinion.
