Its a bit of a distraction isnt it? The Trump administration under Barr expedited the execution of child murderers. But they otherwise all had life in prison with no parole. Its not that big of a difference. If 4% of people sentenced to decades in prison are innocent, thats a travesty too. Our criminal justice system is broken enough that we should care about actually putting away people we can prove are guilty and setting free those we can actually prove are innocent, which seems a very low bar but we don't meet it
Is it even possible to prove if they are accurate systems? What mechanism would work?
