I'd like to make my position clear by stating that I don't believe in killing people 100% guilty of any crime.... and I mean any crime.

I agree, but I think the focus is on innocent people being put to death when debating about it because you either believe it's right to kill people who are guilty or you don't, and the fact that you and I don't isn't going to do anything to point out the problems with the death penalty to those who do. There are enough other serious problems that the debate can be had on many different levels. All of which come out in favor of removing the death penalty.
