    If you put five people to death, but one is later discovered to have been completely innocent, would you still support the death penalty?

    The US justice system is far from perfect, and even further from blind.

    Innocent people are often railroaded by the justice system in order to close a case.

      Hell, we apparently still execute people even if we find out they are completely innocent BEFORE they are executed.
