hang in the balance depending on who believes his repentance is genuine and who believes it is not? It is not as if anyone is proposing to let him free (in which case we would be relying on the sincerity of his repentance); we're only proposing that we keep him in jail (where almost all accounts agree that he is currently doing more good than harm, but that's really not the main point). Our system of capital punishment is too flawed, too biased, and too final to be trusted to answer such questions with certainty.
