85. Once again, your lack of comprehension shines through.
There's already a ban on the death penalty except in the rare set of cases where there is NO doubt about guilt. What about evidence tampering? The only true standard for "NO doubt" would be if the jurors had actually seen the crime take place. And yet, the DP still puts innocents to death. You can't have a moratorium on the DP and then say, "Oh, but you can still put these people to death." This is something Governor Ryan of Illinois realized when he put a moratorium on the DP in Illinois in 2000. He realized that the system was broken and the only solution is to put a stop to it until the problems could be fixed. Governor Ryan, a republican, realized that he couldn't pick and choose the ones who fell through a ridiculously flawed system, he knew that he had to put an end to it until the problems could be addressed. You, however, seem to think we all live in the fantasy world that only exists in your head. Where we have the ability to divine the absolute truth without fail. From everything you've said, it's clear to me that if you followed your own logic, you'd only support the death penalty in the utopia you've built in your mind, yet you still fail to condemn the death penalty as it exists in the real world. That shows to me that you've got an extreme logical disconnect.
