There are several hundred reasons listed here. Clicking on a name leads to the details. forejustice.org en.wikipedia.org I am against the death penalty because I don't want crooked cops or lying witnesses to be able to legally murder their enemies. I agree with you: The ACTUAL murderers are absolute scumbags. They deserve death in the worse way. However, in Canada alone we have seen the police mangle investigations and intentionally ignore evidence. I think something like 5 or 6 convicted "murderers" have now been released after being exonerated by DNA evidence. Under death law they would be, well...DEAD. On the other hand, when someone has personal knowledge of the guilt of a murderer and is able to become judge , jury, and executioner...well, something seems right about that. Several years ago, two Canadian cops took advantage of their position to steal steal steal in the middle of the night (cops are welcome to park behind buildings and lanes and check for the public safety, of course!) A relative found them out and they murdered him. They almost got away with it and given a bit of time I'm sure they could have found some derelict to take the fall. Probably would have found the victim's blood on a wine bottle or something... "if I see somebody like Jeffrey Dahmer walking down the street and shoot him" Don't get caught. The reason we don't allow that sort of thing is because we want justice to be objective. YOU may be entirely reliable and may be sober and mentally competent and free from the possibility of mistakes, errors of judgment--and maybe poor shooting. But what about ME?? I don't know enough facts on Martha Stewart, but that seemed like a spiteful case" Yeah...they really put a dent into insider trading when they caught Martha! ;-)
