the house on fire and it was a triple homicide. i look at a case like that and i say there are some circumstances that are so egregious where this punishment is appropriate. i agree with you completely, michael, as i often do. yes? appropriate, absolutely, and i won t argue with smerc. do we do it? to me it s taking that step knowing that over time when you look at all the executions, maybe there are only two mistakes. maybe there are only five mistakes. maybe there are only 15. i also agree with smerc that evidence does degrade over time and there must have been a convincing case against troy davis presented at trial. it s been scrutinized over the years. but how much uncertainty is enough? and i don t know how to answer that question. but i do know that you can t take it back and that s my problem with this punishment.
