Early last year, Gov. Ron DeSantis began signing death warrants at a faster rate than ever before. What followed was the most intense period of executions the state has carried out in more than eight decades.
I think the stat is for every 8 people we execute one is exonerated from death row.
That’s just not accurate enough for it to be a viable solution. Life in prison can at least be reversed if you get it wrong. If you kill somebody there are no take backs, and our legal system is too imperfect for permanent punishments.
Its also disproportionately applied. Has a rich person ever ended up on death row? Feels like if we’re not going to execute sociopaths who kill hundreds of people by cutting corners on buildings and products why on earth would we be executing people for like killing a CEO?
So… How about you get going then? Execute asamy as you can, in as little time as possible. That way you can get all the innocent prisoners exonerated. Well at least you won’t have innocent people on death row.
