I have not read all of these posts but...this would in no way address the one overriding argument aginst the death penalty - the morality of it.

Sure, it's unacceptable to put to death an innocent person but this in no way addresses the 'right' of the government to put someone to death when there is a viable alternative --life in prison (preferably with barely humane conditions for the clearly guilty). In fact, it allows for it.
