How do you deal with the first innocent person you murder???

Well, I never really came out and said that I was pro death penalty.  But if I
were, I would be *damned* sure that the convicted party was indeed the perp.  All
I am saying is that our current system leaves a lot to be desired.

What I suggested elsewhere is that the guilty should be made to *work* off their
debt to society (or, specifically, the parties wronged) for a lifetime-- who
knows?  Maybe they would *ask* for the death penalty.  This might even be more of
a deterrent for crime than the death penalty, because criminals would see that
they would have to *work* their whole lives, and might think twice before taking
the easy way through a life of crime.
