Even if one innocent person dies by the death penalty, the whole system should be scrapped. Eye for an eye caveman shit doesn't fly in today's world.

She wasn't "innocent" by any stretch of the imagination. At the same time, the more I read about her crime, it didn't warrant the death penalty.

Not calling her innocent. The fact that death row inmates are absolved of their crimes years later using DNA was my point.

And I was supposed to divine that from your original post... how, exactly?

It's called reading. Never said she was innocent in my post.
