I mean, that would essentially be a law that makes executions illegal. Which is a law that most civilized countries have.

It's a law that all civilized countries have. Allowing executions while dismissing evidence makes you uncivilized.

I mean, better to just ban it entirely, but I’d take culpability as a half measure.
