Reply #323: Yeah, but who really knows what happened?

It turns out now that nearly half the guys on death row, who underwent years of trials and appeals and intensive investigations, have been exonerated by DNA evidence of the crimes for which they were convicted. Even under the most carefully crafted, controlled settings we can muster, we've proven that we are ultimately incapable of determining guilt with any reliability. But I'm supposed to have faith, based solely upon the say so of the individual responsible for committing a homocide, that the killing was justifiable and such people never make mistakes in judgement or make serf-serving misstatements to the police? I dunno, I always find those "justifiable homocide" stats kind of questionable.
