    I personally don’t think executions in general are the way to go. Too many people get exonerated years or decades after their convictions.

      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.
