It just means that more efforts should be put into building better investigation and court systems to eliminate mistakes like this. Death sentences should not be given lightly, it's a serious matter. But I do not mind if there's a possibility of capital punishment in some rare cases (which does not mean that I'm for killing people left and right).

So, you do believe that is is possible to create a perfect investigation and court system which makes no mistakes
But apparently you don't believe in creation of perfect society where death penalty is archaic and makes no sense?

I've sensed double standards here

I've never uttered the word "perfect". Both goals are impossible, but the second one is even impossibl-er, since it's much more global and complex.

Anyway, mistakes've been made and will be made in the future. Will you propose not to incarcerate people at all, because innocents can be sent to prison by mistake? I guess not (if we are talking about real, and not an utopian society). Double standards, eh?

I loved that word. I really loved it.

If someone who is incarcerated is later found innocent - you can release him and pay him a compensation.
If someone who is executed is later found innocent - you cannot do anything anymore.

And another thing - government and justice system are not perfect in any country.

But I think that anyone who intentionally killed someone should never be let out of prison.
