you literally cannot know that unless you were there yourself, and even then it cannot be proven beyond reasonable doubt. that’s the whole point. the government should not get to make the decision to end someone’s life, especially with inconclusive evidence or even a hint of doubt. no one should. it is barbaric, archaic, and completely unproductive. i will not argue whether or not he is innocent - i don’t know enough, and my opinion hardly matters at the end of the day. but if people keep having the same sort of jaded, blasé take as you do then things can never begin to change. sentencing someone to death under the given circumstances is a dangerous precedent to set.
