The problem with death penalty is the finality. This year we have heard about numerous cases where people were cleared by DNA testing that didn't exist 20 years ago.
So I could never support the death penalty for someone convicted of murder on circumstantial evidence.

But you are ok with them sitting in jail for the rest of their lives? At least death penalty cases get a high level of scrutiny. If these people were wasting away for life in prison, no one would care to look into their cases.

If they were innocent, people would take a look at the case. Basically, in our society, if someone gets locked up for a crime they didn't commit, and they get out, they sue.
