Re: Golden Rule
Not killing people is derived from the golden rule, which is about as close to objective morality as we are likely to achieve

I agree. I also feel that the death penalty is final, no amount of new evidence that may exonerate the defendant matters after the sentence is carried out. Justice systems are flawed and many innocent people have been set free based on new evidence (better DNA test ect...). One innocent man being put to death is one too many.

Re: Golden Rule
To be precise: it can exonerate him, it just can't resurrect him.
​
LOL.... You are right. As far as the defendant goes it is a moot point though.
