Do you agree with this guy or not?

I don't at all. We're talking about executing human beings..that's 20 or 30 lives, not just cases that were wrongly decided.

Obviously the system is fatally flawed for too many individuals in my opinion. We should definitely stop the process and take time to reevaluate.
