Yes, there are more deaths on the roads of this country, but that really isn't much of a comfort if you are a small child, and it is your mother who has been blown up.
You have no evidence at all that 42 days will prevent just one more death. You're happy to increase to 42 days, and further, on this basis. Therefore when do you decide that somebody is actually innocent? It seems you would rather continuously search for evidence. Not on the basis that it is needed, but on the basis that those extra few days could, potentially, uncover something which would save a life. I suspect your views would be absolutely different if you were subject to what you propose.
