So in our judicial system, that tries hundreds and hundreds of people PER DAY, let's get a ratio of how many innocent people are convicted. Yes, killing 1 innocent person is horrible, but ANY system will not be infailable.
Another point is it costs more per person to put a person to death then it does to house them for the rest of their lives, because of legal costs, housing and other things, BUT there are less people with life terms then there are people on death row. In the long run though, if we keep on putting people in prisons, we're going to have to start letting out murderers and rapists because of overpopulation. I'd like so see what people who say that there shouldn't be a death penalty suggest for housing criminals with a dwindling amount of funds, and increasing amount of inmates.
I personally agree with the death penalty. Even with mikes post. Like people have said before, you can't change someones opinion.
