I pray I possess this kind of grace

I oppose the death penalty on religious grounds. But even if I didn't subscribe to the Christian worldview, I would still be against capital punishment due to even the slightest possibility of a wrongful conviction.

Q.E.D.

FREE MAN: Corey Atchison, who served 28 years in prison for a murder he did not commit, walked out of an Oklahoma prison after a district judge dropped the charges.

"I can't hold no grudge," he said. "Life's too short." https://t.co/RWy2qPEHmQ pic.twitter.com/MzbgXXrwxn

The slightest possibility? Really? Would you settle for "beyond the shadow of a doubt"? SWAT storms a bank after negotiations with the offender fail. They find someone matching the name, description and voice of the offender, standing over 12 dead hostages, and 12 rounds missing from the smoking gun in his hand. Seems to me there should be some severe penalty for that.
