Are you arguin that the emotional basis of a family's vengeful feeligns are a good justification

But actually killing an innocent person is not a good argument against because you presume it's "rare"?

hell yes it's a good justification. So you don't distrust the justice system so much,that you would assume that all people that get the death penality are innocent,there's a probably a good reason they got the death penality.

That's not true at all.

Assumption that a system works is a logical fallacy when applied in certain contexts.

Your justification falls all over itself because it's hypocritical; you can't claim to not care what's inhumane and then argue that we have to consider the feeling of the victim's family.
