Am I correct that this would be enough for us to be certain he is guilty and that there is no chance (beyond him setting himself up) he could be innocent?
It seems like you are mildly advocating for the death penalty's effectiveness in a given situation.
You forget the fact that all of us are innocent, and that the death penalty, is a primitive method of dealing with those who go against moral codes designed by man. A method that lacks forgiveness, and is cruel. I don't agree with your statement because it makes it seem like there is no other viable option to deal with a murderer, why would you murder a murderer, it doesn't make any sense to me. As much as I enjoy Clint Eastwood, and the ruggedness, the fear put into into individuals by laws of this kind to murder, or to go against society, I still think that these kinds of laws are outdated, primitive, and that type of ruggedness displayed in these laws is a Hollywood characteristic.
Yet then again, I would not want to see anyone I know and love, murdered, I would not have them killed though, that is unjust, because all people are innocent in the eyes of God.
