I’m against the death penalty not because of sympathy for criminals, but because it doesn't reduce crime, costs taxpayers much more than life sentences, is more emotionally draining for the families of victims than life in prison without parole. and, worst of all, risks executions of innocent people.
You do have a point but I believe that the court especially if the case is subject for death penalty they will carefully analyze each details for them not to execute an innocent people. Plus the fact that the criminal will just direand end the burden that he will face incase he regret what he did. He will no longer feel sad or worried or feel guilty because he already died. I guess it is better to atleast jailed them for like many years before executing. So that means I am still for death penalty.
