    Who’s moving goalposts now? A decision being “justified” doesn’t mean it’s “a chance we have to take.”

      I’ve been consistent on my position as well as my statements. You however have yet to form a coherent argument that wasn’t based in emotion.

        That’s fucking rich. Your entire point is that killing guilty people is somehow justice. How is that not based in emotion?

        Here’s a coherent argument that isn’t based in emotion: the death penalty does not improve society in any way when applied to a guilty person, and when it does lead to the death of an innocent person, it both reduces the likelihood of the real perpetrator ever seeing justice, and prevents the innocent party from ever being released.

          Executing the sentence of those found guilty by an impartial trial is the very definition of justice. Perhaps you’ve forgotten that.
