The Judeo-Christian ethic demands that an accused is put on the same plane as the victim. To not be willing to mete out an equivalent punishment to the convicted runs against any sense of fairness.

I would rather run the risk of 1/100 accused of being wrongly convicted of a death penalty crime than have 100 percent of all murder victims having been given a worse punishment, for merely being innocent, than the convicted receives after having a fair and just trial.

Well, this is where we disagree. I was going to call you “Friend” but this is honestly one of the most disgusting posts I’ve ever read on here.

At least you are honest and admit you are OK with 1/100 executions being innocent people. You admit you are OK with punishing innocent people and creating another wrong. I, for one, would not be able to sleep at night having any part of it.
