      To date, 21 people have been exonerated off death row by DNA evidence. The acceptable number of innocent people executed is 0.

      Execution is not preventative of the same person reoffending any more than imprisonment is.

      We didn’t execute the prisoners on Guantanamo, supposedly the most dangerous terrorists in the world.
