question:
Sent1: If we don't stop the death penalty before we try to fix it, the imperfect system will continue to convict innocent people while we determine what is best for it.
 Sent2: By the same token, if we keep administering the death penalty while the system is broken, we will have a much greater risk of putting someone innocent to death.
answer:

 Sent2: Back to reality, we convict the wrong person all the time, and we've set up a system where death penalty is actually more expensive than life in prison.
answer:
Not similar
