I completely agree with you. I didn't at all mean to imply that the death penalty was the only problem in our justice system, nor did I mean to imply that we should focus on the death penalty in exclusion to other factors. Of course, police militarization, systematic racism, for-profit prisons, education, welfare, gun control, and mental health are all topics we should be mentioning, and I'm probably leaving out a few. My only point was that with such a high profile case, now is the time for having these discussions.
