Fixed.
By the way, I am strongly against the death penalty just because I think that in an advanced nation we shouldn't have state-sponsored killings, but even if we stay with it (which seems likely, there are only a handful of states that don't have the death penalty), I agree that we have to fix the system. John Edwards and many others supports the death penalty only if there is DNA evidence directly linking the suspect to the crime. And the use of DNA evidence is being encouraged all over, despite it being expensive. IMHO, it's impossible for incontrovertible evidence to be "too expensive."
