So if you are for the penalty you would have seen nothing wrong on let yourself been killed.

One day after your son used the screwdriver she took it with a plastic bag.
After having sex with a condom she inserted the sperm inside the little girl.

BETTER 1.000 GUILTY FREE THAN 1 INNOCENT IN JAIL.
That innocent man might be you or your son or the saviour of the human race.

Hmmm, you'd rather have 1,000 child rapists roaming the streets than risk one innocent person being sent to prison
I'd argue the opposite.
I'd also argue that the sacrifice of one is sometimes necessary for the good of the many.

So as a reverse logic if there is one guilty person and there is one innocent and we do not know which is the guilty one but in the future one of the 2 will kill 500 little child would you kill them both?

If, by some extraordinary circumstance, this was able to occur, and I was the innocent of the two...... I would say 'kill us both'. To die knowing you saved 500 innocent children isn't a bad way to die IMO.

Sometimes you have to take the bad with the good, its life. It's the same no matter what we're talking about.

People please...Is not forgiveness a much more powerful tool than incarceration?
There is no such thing as rehabilitation in jail, it just does NOT happen. When you throw average people in with cold hearted killers they do not come out the same. They have to survive in jail and therefore become the same people as the child molesters, murderers, etc.
How can you be so cold?
I believe one would call it COWARDICE!

What you say is true about the nature of prison but I don't see this as cowardice. I think you missed my post above that explained all of this. Cowardice would be allowing continued assaults on our young. Do you have no compassion for them?

Nature does not have a death penalty, that was man's invention.
Those who are not affluent enough will be able to afford a good lawyer who will get them out of jail. Those who are poor will rot in jail or be sentenced to death. That sounds pretty messed up to me, but maybe not to you as you have already accepted life as it is.
There was just a story about an African man who raped his niece. They have no justice system and he did not get in trouble at all. Meanwhile, she has not been able to urinate/excrete normally since then. She is in a great deal of pain, while he is free. Does that sound like the system is working?
HYPOCRISY at its finest my friends, wake the # up.
