I am ok with every guilty killer not being executed if it means saving a single innocent person. Note that I did not say that I am ok with them being released.
I ask again, how many innocent people are you ok with murdering before it’s no longer worth it?

Given that we live in real life, and nothing is perfect, you would rather see some innocent people be executed. The only other alternative is being against the death penalty. If you’re for the death penalty, then you’re for some innocent people being executed.

And you’re welcome to leave and go someplace that I’m not trying to improve
Ok, but whats the number of innocent lives you’rewilling to end? Or maybe percentage? Where do you draw the line?

Some people are found not guilty when they really are, and some people are found guilty when they’re really not. This is not a good enough metric by which to judge whether we should end a person’s life.

So you are totally fine with a justice system that let Emmett Till’s murderers go free, and slaughtered a man who lost his daughters to a fire he didn’t start? Absolutely monstrous.
What if the jury is wrong every time? Or half the time? Where do you draw the line?

Not justifying it for that person, but for everyone. Why haven’t you answered my original question? How many innocent people do you think it’s ok to execute?
Do they just let them go free if they don’t execute them?
