No government should have the power to put it's citizens to death.
The problem with the death penalty is that witnesses lie. They recant. Judges and juries make mistakes.
Once you condemn a man to death there is no going back. I'd rather see the jails full of convicted murderers than kill one innocent man. I don't want to live in a country like that.
I don't trust government with anything let alone the death penalty.
