...being executed for a crime committed by someone else is a travesty of justice, as well as unconstitutional...

Them's your words, Carol.

I don't find anything at all in the Constitution that says, in effect, "Thou shalt no punish the innocent." There are supposed to be safeguards, yes -- and God help us if they are ignored or fail! But an execution, per se, is not unconstitutional.

Or am I misunderstanding?
