Yes, but the problem isn't that the system isn't perfect. The problem is that the system is horribly broken and doesn't really administer justice.
When you have plea bargains and negations and hardball if one doesn't just plead guilty irrespective of guilt, the concept of justice has been irrevocably subverted. And that's where we are at. And it's why we can't have the death penalty anymore. Because the system isn't working like it should.
For the record, I'm not opposed to the death penalty. In fact, I think in an ideal system it would be used rapidly and impartially from time to time. Some people are probably not redeemable. Some people probably shouldn't live anymore. Death happens to all of us... I don't believe it to be the tragedy some consider. The problem is... right now we have a horribly broken system that has zero business killing anybody.
