I was using the same brush size as the article, take it up with the author. then push for the 'good ole days' when we hung them, you can reuse the rope. (i would actually like to see this or something cheaper- we are way too nice in killing them imo)
And i have studied the problem of innocents being put to death. In the modern system it is almost a literal impossibility to do this. (life sentences you have an argument- and this is more expensive than the death penalty) Just because you have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the person committed the crime. Yeah some people profess innocence all the way but you have to go well beyond "I was in the wrong place at the wrong time" to get sentenced to death. (again life or 25+ years you have an argument) I have read multiple stories about the convicted professing innocence all the way and there is always enough evidence stacked up to bury their plea.
