Obviously there are plenty of cases when the death penalty would be just. Especially when the victim is a child. I am against the death penalty because there is no doubt in my mind that as long as it exists, anywhere, there will be mistakes made and innocent people will be executed. I don't trust the state to get simple things right, like designing good roads and bridges, fair tax system, health care or basically anything. I can not trust the state with life and death isssues.
Remember, Jesus was executed by the state. And the Romans were more cultured people than Texans for example.
