Agree with the idea there.
Let me clarify my point;
Said rich SBs get aquitted on evidence that is called into question. Maybe (and I'm not referring to any particular case) the defendant was indeed not guilty.
The person who has to make do with a public defender, or attorney of lesser skill, would most likely be convicted on the same evidence, even if innocent.
In fact there have been many cases of wrongfully convicted people being given the death sentence: LINK These are just some of those that were caught before the sentence was carried out. How many have been executed for crimes they did not commit? One is too many.
If an innocent person is put to death, justice has not been served, in fact it has been denied. It has been denied to the wrongfully convicted. And it has been denied to the victim as the real killer is likely still free and will never be charged.
Like I said, there are cases that demand the death penalty, but in the absence of overwhelming evidence, no one should be put to death.
