I don't know why people think someone who doesn't get the death penalty has gotten away with something.

My stance on the death penalty is, until we can show that people are never wrongly convicted of capital crimes, we shouldn't be killing them. How many people has The Innocence Project (is that the correct name?) rescued off death row? And besides, the death penalty is disproportionately used against people of color. Another example of racism killing people.

It's a hugely flawed system, and all states should do away with it.
