Where does being innocent convey any greater Constitutional protection?

The Fifth Amendment, the heart of the Bill of Rights, says that you can't kill the innocent, ie someone who has not been convicted of a capital offense. That is what "due process" means. A fair trial.

Do you think the Fifth Amendment applies to citizens? If a parent wanted to search his child's room he needs a search warrant?

I think the Fifth Amendment applies to the government only.
