This right here
I think arguing for its abolition on the basis of "the system is bad" is completely valid

And this still happens. And I agree, society is sometimes too tolerant with people who have no business in being in it (which, true, is a much smaller percentage of people on death row)
But don't expect the legal system to try to improve how many innocents they convict.
