    You must either believe the state is infallible or that the death penalty is wrong. You can’t sensibly believe that the state can be wrong and the death penalty is right. It is the only sentence that cannot be reversed.

      Nope, there are absolutely people who are fine with innocents being murdered by the state as long as the guilty also die. It’s sort of a, ‘gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette,’ mentality.
