If they do have DNA evidence etc... and that evidence places them at the scene then yes i do agree with the death penalty, but if they dont have that kind of evidence then they wont be convicted anyway

DNA evidence only proves a connection to a person, it doesn't prove the person was at the scene. It's easy to frame somebody by planting DNA because it's so easy to attain.
It's usable as supportive evidence to convict somebody, but the wrong person can still end up being jailed, or in the case of the death penalty, killed. If it was later proved the person was innocent, you can't bring dead people back.
