Human beings are fallible: they are capable of making mistakes and do often make them. Can we, especially in light of all the
mistakes people make (including mistakes revealed by DNA tests and the inequality, racism and sexism in the justice system), EVER have complete certainty when it comes to our inquiries into whether someone is guilty or not? And if not, do you think our fallibility should preclude the death penalty? After all, it seems as if it is a form of punishment that, should we get it wrong, we cannot self- correct. And this failure can obviously have serious consequences. So, in general, what bearing does fallibility have on this issue of capital punishment?
