But it's the same with people wrongly imprisoned.
On a smaller scale (and speaking from experience), it's the same with people who have to claim on their motor insurance and bear the cost of higher premiums, loss of no-claims bonus and all the other various costs in such a loss.
The innocent always suffer in one way or another.
I am all for bringing capital punishment back, even if the odd innocent person is wrongly convicted. If executing a convicted murderer/rapist (Ian Huntley, anyone?) stops one person from committing such an offence due to the penalty that is likely to be imposed, then surely that must be seen as an effective way of reducing crime?
