Proves my point profusely. Now more than ever people can feel more secure about supporting the death penalty. Current technology isn't just for solving death row cases and freeing innocent men, it's also good for nailing those NEW criminals in whose cases there would otherwise have been doubt as to their guilt or innocence.
I'm just not in support of having massive prisons packed full of twisted assholes, all of whom can at some point in the future have the opportunity to make parole and go out and kill again.
