The second someone can tell that not one innocent person will be killed by the state then I might change my view on the death penatly. However, as you can't bring back a person killed by mistake I am still against it. I have no problem with life meaning life and it not being particuarlly pleasant.
It is cheaper anyway to keep them alive then kill them.
