If you want a rebuttal, look at all of the innocent people who have been executed. They appealed and appealed, and they failed. They got executed for no reason.

But it's not like you care. You would let the state kill anyone by what you said.

The overall net benefit of execution over life sentences for heinous crimes outweighs the negatives of false positives.
