TASK DEFINITION: We would like you to assess the QUALITY of each of the following argument (discussing Death Penalty) and determine if the argument is Valid or Invalid. A valid argument is clearly interpretable and either expresses an argument, or a premise or a conclusion that can be used in an argument for the topic of death penalty. An invalid argument is a phrase that cannot be interpreted as an argument or not on the topic of death penalty.
PROBLEM: The bottom line is that reduction of crime (which still has yet to be fully proven for the death penalty) is not enough - the punishment has to be judged on its own merits and morality.

SOLUTION: Valid

PROBLEM: Just because the Chicago Tribune finds some "expert" in the field of arson investigation who examines paper evidence and says their may be cause for doubt does not mean that the man was innocent.

SOLUTION: Invalid

PROBLEM: On the topic of the innocent - The Innocence Project lists 80 people who were wrongfully convicted from 1990-2008, and were luckily exonerated later.

SOLUTION:
Valid
