Possible miscarriage of justice and creation of martyrs are two good reasons why I don't think the death penalty is a good idea.

However, having said that I really don't understand why it isn't regarded as a deterant. The possibility of being killed would bother me more than the possibility of being locked up for a few years, fed, not have to pay bills, get a free education then get released with a possibly new identity and police protection in case my victim's family wanted a spot of revenge.
