"Citation needed" isn't an insult. It's pointing out an unsupported assertion. "Go do some fucking legwork, asshole" is an insult.
I note with some dismay that you still haven't identified a single innocent who's been executed.
- peejaybee 11y agoIt takes only a small amount of induction to conclude that given the number of death row exonerations pre-execution, there almost certainly have been innocent persons executed. If you hold out for conclusive proof, you will probably not find it, as it's a bit of a fool's errand to attempt to exonerate a dead man when you could devote that effort to exonerating one who the state has not yet committed manslaughter upon.
- monochromatic 11y agoWhat premise are you basing that induction on, and how are you excluding the theory that the appeals system just works well?
