abolish the death penalty

There is a TV show coming up soon that tells the stories of six people who were on death row but who were reprieved after their innocence was established.

Four of them were on death row in Florida.

Because I have no confidence that our criminal justice system will always convict the guilty while letting the innocent go free in every case, I no longer support the death penalty. Life imprisonment is bad enough for a crime you did not commit, but your hope of redemption ends forever when they throw the switch.
