Yup, that is exactly what I believe. But there are cases where there is no question, no doubt and where the crime is particularly heinous that I do not oppose the death penalty.

>>If you believe that one individual wrongly condemned and executed out of 1000 executions is "one too many" then that is a part of a philosophical stance, for you hold that the individual -- and an individual's life -- is too precious, too sacred, and too inviolate to risk ending by mistake in the name of "justice' within an imperfect system. << Then you should also believe that the taking of millions of lives by abortion is a holocaust by comparison. As a former supporter of the death penalty, I have no problem with eliminating it endeavoring to save the life of "the one wrongly condemned".
