    That doesn’t look like an answer to my question.

    My point is that a non-zero number of people are executed for crimes they did not commit.

    My question is: How many innocent people do you think it’s ok to execute in order to keep the death penalty available?

      I’ll preface by saying I don’t want any innocent people to die. But with any system designed by man it will have its flaws, and you must accept that there can be mistakes. My answer to is as few as possible to ensure justice is served to those who have blatantly killed the innocent like Kenneth Eugene Smith. May he rot in hell where he belongs.
