I think it would be great if we introduced a "No Doubt" to surpass "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" which allows the convicted to execution. The McVeighs and Roofs of the the world, for whom there is no doubt, can be executed, while sparing the "we found two of his hairs near the victim" convicts.
- AWildC182 7y agoI have a feeling this wouldn't work as well as it sounds. The legal system doesn't really seem to distinguish between "two hairs" and "procedural fuckup" so someone who drove a monster truck through a crowd of people and runs around afterward wearing a signboard saying "IT WAS ME, I DID IT!!1!" could still get off when the prosecutor misfiles something or fails to obtain the proper warrant for a search.
