Fair enough.

Personally I couldn't be that cavalier if the person was later found to be innocent. But that's just me; I don't expect anyone else to share my sentiments.

I find it interesting, though, that other than that reply you tend to evade the issue of innocents being incarcerated, much less executed. Of course, it would make almost anyone uncomfortable, I imagine. Very sad thing IMO that it's happened, and will continue to happen. To say the least.
