"Then there is the argument that flaws in the death penalty lay with the judiciary system , not with the actual penalty itself . While anyone can accept that a Â “ perfectÂ ” judiciary system would only send real murderers to death row , even if this were the case , it does not negate the problems mentioned before ."
"Well , what faults ? You say that innocent people are sentenced to death far too often . Well , the death penalty does not sentence people , our judiciary system does . The death penalty is mearly a punishment . I will agree that some innocent people have been sent to death row , and when their innocence was discovered , they were released . A perfect judiciary system would not sentence innocent people , and would alleviate all problems with the death penalty . If we had a perfect system and no innocent person was ever sent to death row , we could take them directy from sentencing to a little room beside the courtroom containing a bed and a few drugs , put an IV in them , and carry out the sentence before the jurors got out of the courthouse . Of course , we know that our judiciary system is an imperfect thing , so we understand the need for appeals ."
