Hi, I have seen this BBC documentary called "The Story of Capital Punishment " in which some historian (I couldn't figure out his name from the credits) said that Paleys attitude towards innocent execution was that t"hey deem to have hanged for England" ( http://youtu.be/0CjZXvT3NGA?t=15s).

I've spent a lot of time trying to identify said historian and the source he was quoting for, alas, I have found nothing in any variation of googling which I have attempted (I've even skimmed his "of crime and punishment"). As a final resort I adress you kind historians, does anyone has any information on this?

Thank you!
