Not only is there clear evidence the death penalty does not curtail future homicides, but your apparent need for "justice", does not take into account the percentage of innocents convicted and executed.
Quote:
A number of people are claimed to have been innocent victims of the death penalty.[3][4] Newly available DNA evidence has allowed the exoneration and release of more than 20 death row inmates since 1992 in the United States,[5] but DNA evidence is available in only a fraction of capital cases. Others have been released on the basis of weak cases against them, sometimes involving prosecutorial misconduct; resulting in acquittal at retrial, charges dropped, or innocence-based pardons. The Death Penalty Information Center (U.S.) has published a list of 10 inmates "executed but possibly innocent".[6] Of all executions in the United States, 144 have been exonerated after execution.[7]

What percentage of innocents is needed to question anything but a
compassionate decision of the our flawed policy and very
Final "eye for an eye?"
