We don't execute 1000 men. I still agree with the death penalty.

The trouble with hanging and flogging is that you can't unhang and unflog. In the UK between 1945 and 1960 at least two people were hanged and later given posthumous pardons- Timothy Evans and Nicolas Bentley. With DNA evidence the chances of incorrect verdicts is reduced, but not eliminated.
