Well, at best, that's only partially correct.

A more correct statement would be:
The death penalty MAY result in the killing of the guilty, but because of
the inherent fallibility of any judicial system, it also results in the
UNJUSTIFIED killing of the INNOCENT.

Tom, you seem to be having considerable difficulty with what is really a
very simple concept.  If you would pay more than your usual degree of
attention, I will promise to go slow.......

The death penalty results in the JUSTIFIED killing of the GUILTY.  Abortion
results in the UNJUSTIFIED killing of the INNOCENT.

Did you get that, or should I arrange for some remedial courses?
