I am a self described silent opponent of the death penalty. What I mean, is that I don't try to make an argument against it. Statistically, it is not a deterrent to crime, yet I do feel there are people who need to be permanently removed from society. I agree sitting in prison for rest of your life is a larger punishment than execution. That being said, if it makes sense (it makes sense to me), if we are going to execute people, then we need to make absolute certain that they are guilty and execution fits the crime.
