In my State, we executed 13 people, and relased 20 from Death Row because they didn't do what they were accused of.
However, with the use of DNA evidence as well as the other advancements we now have in forensics science, that adds more certainty to proving guilt. Add to that the fact we use a judicial system, where the prosecutor and defense each utilizes the same process of questioning potential jurors to determine a jury of your peers, places the case more in the hands of the people than the government. So based on these two issues, I'm not really buying your "government" excuse. In short, through both examples I had previously stated in my last post, there seems to be found a whole array of excuses for why we can no longer accept personal responsibility for the decisions we make.
