ACS,
 
No, no, you misunderstand.  I did not say that executing the innocent  was 
justified as a deterrent.  I was simply pointing out that any system  
administered by fallible humans is going to result in some percentage of  errors.  I 
don't believe that we should respond to this unavoidable  consequence by dumping 
the entire program.  Your inclination to do exactly  that is understandable 
but potentially VERY costly.  I believe that the end  result would be a far 
GREATER loss of life do to recidivism.
 
Hope this sheds more light on my position.
 
Best,  --Tony
