Those who continue to call for the reintroduction of the death penalty should look at the case of Sam Hallam, who has spent seven years in gaol for a murder which it is now accepted he had nothing to do with.  As has been said before, the justice system is run by human beings, and human beings make mistakes - in a society which has any pretensions to being civilised, the system has to allow for this.
