100% against it.
Moral reasoning: Taking a human's life when life imprisonment does just fine at protecting society is simply uncalled for and unnecessary. The death penalty serves no other purpose than revenge - continuing the vicious cycle of hate.
Logistical reasoning: It costs far less, after the necessary appeals process, etc etc, to keep someone in prison for life than to put them to death. Prison for these people is not "free cable TV and workout rooms." It is quite the opposite. They're removed as a danger to society just fine by giving them life in prison without parole, and it costs less of my tax money overall. Not to mention it errs on the side of caution when it comes to wrongly convicting someone.
