I couldn’t agree more actually! I just wanted to choose one thing at a time.
I took a university class about wrongful convictions in the early 2000s and a man came and talked to the class who had spent decades in one of the worst prisons in the country, wrongfully. It really opened my eyes at a younger age to how susceptible people are to bias and faulty memory.

He was one of the last people to be hanged in the United States. August 14, 1936.
Regardless of the man’s crime, I’m not sure public executions are the way to go.
I personally don’t think executions in general are the way to go. Too many people get exonerated years or decades after their convictions.

The justice system is neither.
It’s also a shitty thing to do to the guilty too.
Truly, I only meant: that is helpful, as a breadcrumb 🤓
