1 class of students at a univ researched death penalty cases at a state prison and found proof that an handful of them were actually innocent
if u knew more about our justice system (i.e. had been a pub defender or seen some of the death penalty cases up close) u'd know what a joke it is, noone has any clue how many innocent ppl are killed each year but the majority of the pop. feels that innocents have been put to death in the US in the last decade
the problem isnt killing killers, its making sure the right ppl are convicted and having a 'fair' justice system
cant fix one without the other, personally im in favor of capital punishment if there is no other social recourse meaning if the prisoner cannot contribute to society, but the current system is 2 much of a drain on taxpayers 2 make it a better alternative than life in prison.
