As a concept, I am in favour of the death penalty for some crimes, but from a practical standpoint there have already been too many mistakes. The justice system is run by humans and humans are flawed. I can think of few things worse than a society imprisoning or worse executing an innocent citizen. One is too many.

Agreed
