There should not be a death penalty. I'm not a religious fanatic or someone on the moral high ground and I don't claim to know what's best for everyone and how everyone should act. But I don't think execution is right. How many times in recent years have you heard of a prisoner being released when new evidence turns up. Or DNA testing proves his innocence. You say well now they can do DNA on all cases, so that should not be a problem. Or you say, that person was caught red handed. Well even if that is true, by what right do we get to kill them? By what right to we get to kill anyone? Now I'm not talking about war, defense of nation, property, family or self. I'm talking about just killing a defenseless person. Now you say "Defenseless? That person murdered 10 people in cold blood. He's not defenseless." At the time he committed his crime, no he wasn't. Strapped to a table about to get a lethal injection? Yes I think that would be called defenseless.
