I have no moral compunctions about the death penalty. I also don't believe it to be "barbaric," as so many lefties like to describe it. If you go around killing paople for no reason other than you were in a foul mood, then you deserve to come to a "barbaric" end.
No, my problem with the death penalty is that our judicial system will never be foolproof. Look how many people have been vindicated of crimes through DNA in the last ten years. If one innocent person is put to death, then the whole system collapses. It's just not worth the chance.
Completely agree PB, often I think I would want the death penalty in UK and Australia, but then there's the nagging doubt in the back of my mind that somewhere along the line an innocent person will be put to death.
