i agree 100% the only thing about the death penalty, is that not everyone that is sentenced to death is guilty. there was (and still is, i think) a project done by some law students in illinois that found that a bunch of people on death row are actually innocent, and i thin a dozen or so of them were freed, just on the research of this student group. so the real problem with the death penalty isn't the morality of it, it's the fact that innocent people have been killed. i don't have a concrete personal opinion about it, i see both sides of the moral issue. i'm a firm believer in eye for an eye, but i don't like the idea of people losing their life in error.
