    Execution shouldn’t be an option. At least with life in prison you can release a person if you fucked up, with significant financial compensation for their time in prison. You can’t un-execute a person. The state isn’t competent enough to be given such power. Nobody is.

      The purpose of the US legal system is not to provide justice. It’s to terrorise poor people and minorities. So, it worked just fine here.
