The strongest argument for the death penalty is this: the state has a compact with its citizens, upon which basis private justice (vendetta) is foregone, and that is to use a reasonable resources to identify, apprehend, and appropriately punish the wrong- doer. If the state fails to satisfy the demands of justice as perceived by the ordinary citizen, faith in the judicial system is undermined, people feel freer to be scofflaws, and vigilantism is encouraged. Thus, whether to enforce the death penalty or not must reflect a reasonable degree of societal consensus.
