I dont believe in the death penalty. Killing someone because they also killed is not justice, its just vengeance. I also find it to be extremely hypocritical.

And just for the record, I am not a chick, nor am I gay... but then again I am canadian so that might explain it...
Oh, well then....let's expand our prisons and cram in more convicts and pay to feed and clothe them just because a fraction of a percent of them might be innocent.

The judicial system is built around the premise that it actually works. Defendants are already taken to court on the premise of innocent until proven guilty. Should it be changed to "innocent until proven maybe guilty"?

Innocent or guilty aside, I still fail to see the advantage of rotting away in a cell as opposed to being killed off earlier.
