I personally do not support the death penalty. The reason is the same as others have listed: There are too many innocent people convicted already, often by a DA who is looking for the PR that comes from such cases.

What I do support (and our system too often fails to do) is keep those convicted of capital crimes behind bars. Parole comes much too easy for some very nasty people. Many of the worst crimes are committed by individuals who have been released because they said they were sorry.

This is a very difficult issue with good cases to be made from both sides of the fence...
