You can make a compelling case for innocent or guilty (although in my knowledge more compelling evidence exists for innocence) but you can't argue that they deserved execution, which is what the question should be.

It's been 4 years, so I couldn't give you any details if I wanted to, but I remember that the prosecution did a really horrible job and I (as a witness) was verbally beaten by the defense on the cross examine.
Anyway, if my teacher hadn't have gotten the false accusations of sexual harassment and had to move to protect her children, I would ask you if you were in the same class I was.
/edit: then again, you might be in a class at the new school she teaches at....
Who's your teacher?
