I hope you realize that meeting that no doubt standard is going to cost a lot of money. The judiciary procedures for death penalty is extremely high, as are all the related costs for death rows & execution. In fact death penalty costs already more than life in prison: https://www.thebalance.com/comparing-the-costs-of-death-penalty-vs-life-in-prison-4689874 https://www.thebalance.com/comparing-the-costs-of-death-pena...
And that's with the current error-prone system. Think of what it would take to ensure that your criteria are met.
So costs is simply not an argument. In fact it's a pretty bad faith one regarding what happens with private prisons and the labor of inmates subjected to slavery (read the 13th amendment if you think slavery is universally abolished). The US wouldn't have the highest rate of incarceration in the world if it didn't make money somehow.
- bruceb 5y agoA no doubt standard need not cost extra money. This is from evidence already collected. Costs would actually be reduced as can shorten the appeals process when a no doubt standard has been met. Mass murders who don't hide their killings would be one example. Costs no extra money to meet the no doubt standard.
