And yet innocent people still suffer it. Again, there is documentation that I will leave to those more adept than I at finding it. Being as death is final, the standard needs to be absolute, infallible certainty. The only way that happens is when some twisted fuck decides that he wants society to kill him (Tim McVeigh, anyone?) and goes and commits a capitol crime. Suicide by judge, with a media circus. So we have either the chance of convicting an innocent person in such a way that no restitution can be made when we discover our error, or we provide a platform and an exit for the truly evil among us.
I submit that is intolerable.
