Can a murderer ever be redeemed?

I have no certainty about guilt or innocence in this particular  case.  In 
any event, the real problem for me is trusting in a judicial  system that 
concludes that blacks are chattel property, that Native Americans  are not persons, 
and that children before birth are not endowed with the natural  right to 
life, liberty and to due process of law. While as a matter of  principle, the 
death penalty may be licit, in our society at this time it is not  free from doubt 
on these grounds, as well as others that may be invoked.
