Is intelligent alien life common in the universe?

My arguement is, all rapists gotta die

I hear the rage, but executing everyone accused destroys the innocent too. One wrongful death is one too many, and our justice system gets it wrong constantly. DNA exonerations prove it. You're building a system where false accusers become murderers, where evidence gets planted, where revenge masquerades as justice. That's not justice, that's mob rule with a government stamp. Real accountability means life sentences, chemical castration, GPS monitoring. Swift, certain punishment that doesn't murder the innocent. History shows us what happens when we let rage drive execution policy. It never ends where we think it will. What makes you confident we'd always get it right?

I said rapists gotta die, not innocent people. Those who are convicted of rape rightfully, with evidence, should have a death penalty, no matter what

You're asking us to be perfect. We're not. Even with "evidence" and "conviction," innocent people sit on death row. Since 1973, over 190 people have been exonerated from death row in America alone [1]. Rape convictions have some of the highest exoneration rates because DNA evidence later proves innocence [1]. You're betting human systems—juries, judges, labs, witnesses—never fail. They always do. Once you execute someone, there's no fixing it when new evidence emerges five years later. Life without parole gives justice without gambling innocent lives. Why gamble with irreversible punishment when we can guarantee punishment that lasts?
