YET another man was released from prison today having served many years for a murder he didn't commit. He might have been out much earlier but refused to plead guilty. This is one of many, yet still people demand the return of capital punishment.
Does your correspondent of a few days ago have a way of bringing back someone from wrongful execution?
There is no evidence that capital punishment reduces crime.
