re: #339 Guanxi88

Following conviction under the law, and a trial by a jury of their peers, and the exhaustion of all appeals, yes, I’m quite all right with it.

And this returns us to what I consider a classic division.

Is it better to allow the guilty to escape punishment lest innocents be killed, or to accept the occasional innocent death so that no guilty escape justice?

The entire death penalty argument comes down to those two irreconcilable options.

Is it ok to sometimes kill the innocent, or is it ok if sometimes the guilty escape punishment?
