Killing innocent people is wrong, killing murderers is good. Therefore we should give accused murderers fair trials before executing them.

  > Therefore we should give accused murderers fair trials before executing them. There are many examples of accused murderers who received fair trials, were convicted, and yet were still innocent.

    As 'xvector points out, the alternative punishment - like long sentences in high-security facilities - can, in practice, be much, much worse. This is a theory vs. practice thing - theory could say that "there's always a chance", but actual numbers will say that the country is just making convicts - guilty and innocent alike - spend decades being tortured.

      It's far more likely that we can fix prisons than we can fix the judicial system to guarantee that only the guilty are convicted.

    Corporate crimes tend to be well documented. Even the communist Chinese can get these sort of convictions right. They did good work killing those bastards.
