That's fine with a sentence of a couple years. But for how hard we've seen it become to commute a sentence, we need to be 100% sure for the death penalty.
I basically said that it is not okay, maybe you should have read the second sentence as well. But even with a "sentence of a couple years", guilt has to be profen, not innocence. If there is plausible doubt of guilt, there shouldn't be a guilty sentence.
Yeah, sorry it's just worded weirdly and I didn't get that you were referencing the reasonable doubt standard.
