I'm absolutely astonished that nobody's said it......How do you know if
you're executing an innocent guy? No, DNA testing is not infallible. If
someone is wrongly convicted that's one thing...but if you execute them,
then you find out twenty years later the guy you killed was in fact
innocent, what do you do then?
Have you ever been wrongly accused of a crime that carried a severe
penalty? Well it's happened to me, and it could happen to you.
Ah well, these things are sent to fry us.
