 It's completely pointless to discuss a hypothetical world where the justice system makes no mistakes in order to make an argument about whether or not the death penalty is morally justifiable. Why even bother? It's a waste of time.

The reality in any justice system administered by humans is that 1) mistakes will happen or 2) abuse will happen, and therefore the death penalty should not be practiced in any civilized society. The potential for mistakes or abuse is simply too great.

Some people believe it is somehow wrong to execute guilty murderers.
Who cares? I don't understand why there are 7 pages of arguments over a hypothetical moral situation which has no bearing on policy in the real world.
