I don't have enough faith in our justice system to get it right every time. Our system is not perfect. Anyone in favor of the death penalty either:
1)Is ok with killing the occasional innocent person.
Or
2)Believes the court system is never wrong.
If you could show me they got it correct every time i would agree with the practice.

This. When all the tough talk is over, this is what it boils down to.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy with the rational, well-informed thought process, chief.

There's no real way to put a number on these, but let's just say that in the past 20 years, 5 innocent people have been sentenced to death and actually have been killed. Do you think the death penalty is so inefficient as a deterrent that in that same 20 year period, it hasn't deterred the killing of 5 innocent people?

Exactly this.
I love how much the average OTer here is in favor of something resembling Sharia law.

Why can't I be in favor of the death penalty in only certain situations when there is 100% certainty of guilt? Like they were caught in the act. They sit on death row for maybe a month then are executed. Only a handful of executions per year but you don't kill innocent people. Problem solved.
