The thing that also irritated me was that she used "feel" a lot. ("I feel he is guilty". "We feel he is guilty").
For this type of absolute punishment, you need an absolute certainty. You can't kill people you "feel" are guilty.
Yes, I know he went to trial and yes, I know he was found guilty. BUT, the American Justice system (especially in a case with doubt as rampant as this one) is not an absolute.
Besides, if he isn't guilty, don't you want to know what really happened? People just fixate too much on a comfortable truth, without any regard as to if it is the actual truth.
