Which is exactly why I am against the death penalty.

Just today I heard about a middle aged man released from prison after being wrongfully convicted of murder. This man had spent twenty seven years in prison before DNA evidence exonerated him. He is incredibly lucky he did not receive the death penalty, as likely he would not be here with us today.
