      There should be an extra clause for death penalties that they should only be given out in cases beyond physical impossibility as opposed to reasonable doubt. Reasonable doubt is not a good bar for killing somebody, but in this case there’s no physical possibility it wasn’t him.

        No. Just No. Beyond Any Reasonable Doubt is sufficient.

        Don’t try to diminish or weaken the necessity of the death penalty in a first-degree-multiple-murder scenario. The death penalty is always absolutely warranted.
