i'm agenst the death penalty, but not for the reason you may think.
i do believe that some people just deserve to die for their actions.
but we are not always 100% sure the person found guilty of commiting the crime actually commited the crime. our system is far from perfect, but its the best we have. People have been found guilty then released as more evidence is discovered...
the problem with the death penalty is that you cant say, o we are sorry, we were wrong, your free to go. the person would be dead. its final. there is no room for error.
