I agree with you, though, that executing someone who is technically not guilty of that particular crime can seem harsh in the individual case. But, you need to look at the larger picture because that's what counts.

If you're concerned about the "big picture," why don't you falsely confess to some unsolved murder and then waive your appeals?

Unlike mistaken convictions (which serve as a deterrent to others so long as no one meddles with them), false confessions are destructive to the system. You keep forgetting that I am the one who is SUPPORTING the system, not trying to damage it by questioning the system's results.

We're all guilty. There is only one path to Salvation.
