Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Two wrongs make a right is a commonly used abbreviation for the belief that, if one wrong is committed, a second wrong will cancel it out (such as capital punishment for murderers, i.e. killing the killers). More common, however, is the reverse expression "two wrongs don't make a right" (used, for example, by opponents of capital punishment). This article is from Wikipedia.
