Better a million guilty people serve a life sentence than one innocent person be mistakenly executed. The state shouldn't be in the business of handing out punishments that can't be overturned later.

Better to ruin the lives of a million people than to take the life of one?

You're going to have to provide some serious philosophy to back that up.

Killing innocent people is bad.

Keeping guilty people in prison isn't that bad.

Boom. Philosophized.
