Mistakes happen. No innocent man (or woman) should die because of death sentence.

Also, how do you teach people not to kill by killing? An old argument I guess. But still, what gives us the right to decide between one's life and death?

The death penalty does not reduce crime rates. People who are insane and on drugs do not care. The level of a civilised nations is where it does not have a death penalty: is democratic and respects human rights.

Death penalty is based on draconian religious principle of an eye for an eye. Cold blooded revenge. More blood shed usually results in more blood shed. 

Is there something wrong with revenge?
