Untreated mental illness causes desperation.
Extreme poverty.

Make it make sense.
At least one in 10 people that have been executed in this country have been innocent.

The great Brian Stevenson says, if one out of every 10 planes that took off crashed, nobody would fly.
But we don't even do any forensic analysis of these things.
We don't even, like, when there's a plane crash, you don't have a whole slew of people that come in with all sorts of fancy titles and degrees.

No, none of that happens here.
