Grace wondrous grace. By the grace of God I am what I am. Yet not I, but the Grace of God which was with me.

But a death sentence is a result of a lengthy and thorough judicial process applied to a person deemed guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

In that case, there is no process of justice, no evidence of guilt presented, no defense for the condemned child, and no appeal.
