Innocent people are still going to face life imprisonment, and the argument is that it's better to execute people than life imprisonment. Even then this is extremely subjective, many people who have never been imprisoned or faced imminent death think that they would prefer execution, and somehow generalise this feeling to all people when in reality very few people choose execution when given the option. permalink fedilink source parent
