I never said anything about being confident that it couldn't happen again (or hadn't happened before),I simply pointed out that the innocent people might die card is a misguided (or dishonest) one to play.And I illustrated my point with the road accident and dubious wars examples.
Do you suppose the absence of the death penalty made miscarriages of justice such as the Guildford four and Birmingham six more or less likely?My money would be on the former.
