: Death sentence mustn't be given to uncertain cases??? just a second thought. and on your 用户消息 quality translation, delivery on time, what about "on time delivery"? sounds more balanced.

In cases where the absolute necessity of capital punishment is not proved, a death penalty should no
In cases where the absolute necessity of capital punishment is not proved, a death penalty should not be imposed. Imposing death penalty unnecessarily is committing mistakes.
My understanding:
可杀和不可杀, 这里是指罪犯的罪行是不是到了非杀不可的地步, 而不是说他/她是不是真的犯了所被指控的罪行.
Here the doubt is not about whether the accused is guilty of the crime, but whether his crime deserves the death penalty.
