I’m against death penalty even for the most heinous crimes for several reasons but the main one being that you’ll never going to get a justice system that’s 100% accurate in their convictions. Jailing an innocent person is already awful enough but just imagine the sense of injustice when sitting on a death row for a crime you didn’t commit. This is an issue especially on cases that provoke strong emotional reactions on people. The default is to believe those accusations and defending yourself just makes one seem more guilty. The mere accusation of rape can already ruin a person’s life let alone when the victim is a child.
