The appeals process very often failed, and still fails. The numbers of death sentences proven to have been wrong, are telltaling. The system does not work precise and flawless enough to allow acceptance of terminal, irreversible "penalties". A residual risk for a false sentence remains in most court cases. That's why one should stay away from making irreversible sentences a regular routine. And I do not accept something like
"I can live with 1 innocent killed per 5 criminals executed, that is a good rate, that's the price of justice."
What would be next?
