The government doesn’t decide to give people the death penalty.
JURIES OF “THE PEOPLE” DO. And they have to be well convinced.
The government here doesn’t have sham communist “show trials”.
Government carries out the verdict of the sentence.
You can believe what you want. We’re not Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union in this aspect.
In principle “juries of peers” have to be “well convinced.”
In practice they are played like orchestras after being vetted for ignorance.
You have faith in the system of prosecutors who work in tandem with law enforcement, that these representatives of the state are four-square noble and well-meaning, honest and constitutionally stable and sound.
I do not.
Let's not argue, please.
