Which in my mind further proves the point, why allow all these fucks ups run the streets after you catch them? You shouldnt, there are plenty of good people in the world that prefer it to be safer. I know i do. Catching and releasing criminals is not on my list of "Its OK"

I have no issue with capital punishment and the crimes for which capital punishment may be prescribed.
I do have an issue with the standard of proof. How much is beyond reasonable doubt? 99.9%? 99? 95? 90%?
Do we need eyewitness testimony? video evidence? forensic evidence? How much is enough to be sure the person is guilty?
There is always a slight bit of doubt with every conviction. I just don't know how much would be enough to overturn a capital punishment sentence.
