Default if that had happened

Nope I am talking about tax paying citizens who didn't kill anyone. And some people seem to be willing to put them to death in order to put other people to death. This is not a game of numbers. These are real people with families who pay taxes just like you and I, who are condemned to pay the ultimate irreversible price for nothing at all but being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Then I would agree totally, but it hasn't and it hasn't come close to happening. A quick search says the wrong convictions of those on death row happened before the use of DNA evidence. If they want to use DNA evidence to confirm those on death row then I wouldn't have a problem with that.

there is no "mostly unique;" thats like saying "sometimes always," its an oxymoron - its either one or the other.


The result:
Quote:
By the mid-19th century unique had developed a wider meaning, “not typical, unusual,” and it is in this wider sense that it is compared. The comparison of so-called absolutes in senses that are not absolute is standard in all varieties of speech and writing.
