There's been many a time when I've read reports on some murders that I would have gladly carried out the death penalty in person!..but if the death penalty is a deterrent then I don't think it works, if it is a punishment then maybe, but personally speaking if I committed murder I would rather be topped than spend life in prison.
The not so recent use of DNA evidence is not always a factor... DNA profiling was around when Barry George was convicted of killing Jill Dando without any DNA or any other real evidence, and the bloke was not guilty... miscarriages of justice will still happen.. and to my mind anyone receiving the death penalty for something they have not done is as dreadful as the original crime.
