If you can prove that all confessions are 100% truthful. What if he’s lying
to protect his sister? Sure he probably deserves a penalty for lying about
it, but the needle?

That well may be, but my point was and is to try and address the moral issue
of execution directly. Your post reminds me of that classic scene in “Mr.
Mom” where Jack is using the “Rocky” analogy. “Which Rocky?” :-)

Hey, that’s an important distinction to make, and I don’t think that I was
making it in our part of the thread. But let’s make sure we’re clear--
You’re debating about the morality of execution itself (presumably in cases in
which guilt is known with 100% certainty) whereas Ross, Bruce, and I have been
pursuing the morality of capital punishment as it applies in society.
Is that a correct paraphase of the two different stances?
If so, then I can get back to thinking about it...
Dave!
