@OT,
The main thing is on whose side you are. If you support the victim in murder case then death penalty is the only option when the offence is proved.
But if you support the offender then you don't want the death penalty.
Look at those countries who abolished the death penalty whether the rate of offence punishment of which was once death penalty has been reduced or not and the answer is 'not'. That means the offender does not think twice before doing a serious offence. You are therefore enticing the crime in the society by abolishing the death penalty.
