DNA results have proved the vulnerability of our system to convictions based upon mistaken identities and overzealous police and prosecutors. In few cases can we be certain this person really did it. Certain enough to convict on something we can undo, but not to take their life.
I oppose capital punishment on those logical grounds, but also on humanitarian and world politics grounds.
