there really should be a system of verdicts that reflect the jury's degree of certainty based upon the evidence presented. execution should only be allowed in the worst cases, and where the evidence is the most damning. the strictly binary guilty/not-guilty needs to go.

When the real so-called pro-lifers come out and oppose this monstrous system we'll actually join the civilized world.
