As I have repeated numerous times, incarceration can be reversed and even compensated. Not only canit be done, but it happens all the time. Death is so far quite difficult to get around.

It is entirely a new level, and that is being slowly recognised. Recently a US governor banned the Death penalty in his state because several prisoners on death row had their convictions overturned after an independent examination of the process that put them there.

If an innocent man is executed, how exactly is that NOT premediated murder? Should the judges and jury then be brough up on capital charges?
