This topic was partially inspired by the 'Tookie' thread. However, I would like to narrow the scope a bit on this question...

Do you believe that the death penalty is justifiable if people are ever wrongly condemned? In other words, let's say that for every 100 people sentenced to die, 99 of them are guilty of the crimes for which they are convicted, and one person is innocent. Does the 'good' done by the death penalty outweigh the occasional execution of an innocent person?
