I thought original sin was just a Catholic thing. No? Damn, that's too bad.

Oklahoma loves murdering innocents almost as much as Texas, so this isn't looking good.

Oh hey, that is my main argument against the death penalty too! Except I haven't had faith in any criminal justice systems since I was a kid.

All history, in so far as it is about humans, is suspect. History is just fiction about the past. You cannot use it to predict human behaviour, so it is in that sense worthless. It can be fun though.

Executing an innocent man is murder and should be tried as such. I see no reason for the executioners, courts, jury members, cops, and lawyers to have immunity for murder.

Yep. And even without scamming, any system will have unavoidable inefficiencies. Just accept that and consider it into your projections and budget planning. If you assume at least 5% loss and budget for that you still do 95% good. It basically just increases the price of doing good a couple percent, and who cares about that?
