Amarth

I was thinking about this and I can't come up with a logical solution. I know many Christians who are in favor of the death penalty, and I can't understand why. I understand the logistics behind the death penalty, but I can't understand how a Christian could support it when the sixth commandment (I believe) states "Thou shalt not kill." So any thoughts? (You don't have to be Christian to reply.)

*muble*The romans had a death penalty y'know.*muble*

-edit- Gak. Just realized I spelled the title wrong. Oh well.-edit-
