That is part of the price we pay for being imperfect human beings. Sometimes a jury of 12 gets it wrong. In the vast majority of cases, that error is corrected in the appeals process, making the system nearly fool proof.
Yes, I said nearly.

What would it cost us to make it TOTALLY foolproof? Giving up executing criminals seems a small price to pay to avoid completely killing innocent people. It's not as if the convicted would not be punished at all, or even that they wouldn't be punished severely.
And what do we do to people that kill, go to jail and continue to kill while in jail?
I'm sure the kid would feel much better if they became pen pals with the person who raped and murdered their mom.Executing the perpetrator has nothing to do with healing for a young, traumatized child. Out of control adults filled with their own vengeance and rage, will not help a traumatized child by telling the child the perpetrator has been executed.
Fuck you, sky. What do you know about ethics? When is the last time you had your life threatened?
And what do we do to people that kill, go to jail and continue to kill while in jail?
Keep them in jail, of course.
While we're at it, not put into prison anyone who ISN'T violent, and end the war on drugs, so the size of our prison population isn't a national embarrassment that makes us look like a third-world totalitarian dictatorship.

so whats your point? if they were given the DP or LWP and were later released because of some doubt or lawyer mongering doesnt that prove the system works no person has even been *executed *and proven not guilty after .I'm pretty sure that I said convicted and got the DP.Quite a few to be found here.
of course that link proves the point
NO innocent person has been executed* which is what we are discussing *
those that a reason has been found to give them the benefit of the doubt has been released from prison
Yup, I did.

So your solution to a killer that continues to kill guards and other inmates is to just let him. Some justice there. Do you even have a brain?
To sum up, the position of a majority of posters on this thread is that capital punishment is morally right.

That was a broadbrush....if you read the thread, and the other similar threads on the forum, your conclusion is not accurate.
That being said anyone who says its morally right and is pro-life has some serious splaining to do.

Tell that to the meatheads proudly wearing a uniform for their corporate masters."Heroes".........to the board of directors at Hallburton and crony.An eye for an eye. Right or wrong?
I say it is wrong.
All human life is sacred. Society has a moral obligation to protect human life, not take it. The death penalty harms society by cheapening the value of life. Allowing the state to inflict death on certain of its citizens legitimizes the taking of life. The death of anyone, even a convicted killer, diminishes us all. Society has a duty to end this practice which causes such harm, yet produces little in the way of benefits.
Im for capital punishment. Sometimes the only way to pay for a crime is through the shedding of your own blood. In fact, my complaint isnt that we dont have capital punishment, but that there arent more crimes that qualify in our system.
For example, Robbery used to be a capital crime. For very obvious reasons when you realize someone who robs, say your cattle from you, when you need that cattle to provide for yourself and your family ends up giving your family a death sentence. Rape is another one that should be capital in some circumstances
