It doesn't matter if he was guilty or innocent. State-sanctioned murder is ALWAYS wrong.

Arguably, it does matter a lot more if he was innocent, and it matters A LOT A LOT A LOT more if the appropriate authorities were presented with evidence of his innocence and chose to ignore it.

Hard disagree. No matter what someone does state-sanctioned murder is unacceptable. Full stop.

Then you don't need to worry about someone being innocent or authority figures ignoring evidence.

State-sanctioned murder is an evil act.
