It's a hard question to answer. To paraphrase Tolkien (because I can't remember exactly how he put this sentiment) "Some live that deserve death, and some die that deserve life. But who are you to judge?"
If the crime was sufficiently bad, and the evidence incontrovertible, then I agree with the death penalty in theory. The trouble is that most of the time there is a shadow of a doubt in convictions, and if you're not absolutely certain that you've got the right person...
