Tiguar Woman freed from death row four days after she was supposed to die - my political leanings have changed my views on the death penalty. If I can't trust the govt. to run healthcare, I can't trust them to kill american citizens judiciously.
There is no rational justification for the death penalty in a civilized society. It is based only on emotion and blood lust.

Yes there is, if you commit the ultimate crime, you should pay the ultimate penalty. For a murderer, the death penalty is an appropriate punishment.
Murder is a crime where the victim cannot recover from it at all. Such a grotesque offense requires the criminal feel the full weight of that action and the death penalty is an appropriate method for that to happen.
