Some people deserve the death penalty. However, I do not trust the power to put citizens to death in the hands of government, or anyone else for that matter. Innocent people have been put to death. In the US, since 1973, 152 people on death row have been exonerated. How many more should have been? For me, the question is not a matter of appropriate punishment.
