I get what you’re saying, but you still haven’t shown any reason why a different system, built around fallible people, wouldn’t also send innocent people to death row. Trusting people’s intuition won’t change that, although it might change the mix of innocent people sent to death row.
Blows my mind how a highly educated judge, and two lawyers, and all the other impartial educated people in the room wouldn’t be able to come to logical conclusions about these things. The problem is that the law was designed to protect the innocent but it also protects the guilty! I’ll mention OJ Simpson & Casey Anthony again. Their lawyers found every loophole available to manipulate the system in their clients’ favor. The only innocent people who end up on death row are the ones who don’t have highly-paid, highly-dedicated lawyers to prove their innocence. If guilty people can be proven “innocent,” then truly innocent people should easily be proven innocent too! If they have a lawyer who gives a damn.
