    Meh, IMO it’s totally fine when it is blatantly clear. Yes, I know it’s still subjective and I still wouldn’t trust the government with, “blatantly clear”, but my point is this guy is not a gray area.

      To me, it doesn’t matter to me how clear it is. The state should not have powers that include life and death over its citizenry, no matter how heinous the crime. That’s a step toward fascism and the U.S. is taking way too many of those steps.

      They always think it’s blatantly clear until they kill a person they later find out was innocent

        Like I said, I still wouldn’t trust the government to do, “blatantly clear”.

      Except that leaves it up to the court which has a record of wrongfully convicting people based on false or circumstantial evidence and then putting them on death row
