re: What are your views on the following issues?

After the Gregg case in the 1970's, states were forced to remake laws concerning capital punishment. Now, the death penalty can be sought if one is convicted of murder and there is an "aggravating circumstance" warranting death. Men and women are convicted of the underlying offense of murder every day based solely on circumstantial evidence. This is precisely why there are innocent men on Death Row. Just look at how many people the Innocence Project have gotten released based on a wrongful conviction. So forgive me for not wanting "the land of the free and the home of the brave" emulating Singapore, one of the most autocratic nations on the planet, when it comes to criminal justice and civil liberties. And while it may sound good to trumpet the horn of the lynch mob, were to we to take your approach, hundreds of innocent men would be wrongly executed. It amazes me the cognitive dissonance of many in this country, who complain about the government's inability to run a healthcare system, but think said government is competent to oversee the processes associated with the killing of another human being.
