The main argument against death penalty is that we don't really know whether someone is guilty or innocent.

..and sometimes we know beyond a shadow of a doubt - several eye witnesses or video tape - those folks should be executed. We should not take the option off the table - there's always someone deserving.

<< Why should we execute someone who we are not sure is guilty? >>

Nobody has ever advocated that kind of preposterous position.
