I'm for the death penalty in the case of heinous crimes.
But the bar should be raised from reasonable doubt to beyond all doubt in the sentencing stage.

Here's a bunch.data to support pleaseI don't understand people who claim the government is incompetent at everything that it does, but still willingly give the government power to kill.
One single falsely convicted person being executed is enough of a reason for me not to support capital punishment - and there have been hundreds, if not thousands.
To be taken seriously when a poster makes a statement like that as FACT data /stats are required

FACT in some states capital punishment is asked for by the prosecution its up to the PEOPLE (you and i the jury ) to recommend itI don't understand people who claim the government is incompetent at everything that it does, but still willingly give the government power to kill.

The trouble with your analysis is that there wasn't one made by you.I'm ambivalent and right-leaning. The reason is because too many people are railroaded in by two collaborating witnesses and their supporters who may have committed the crime themselves. In Illinois, there is a "Project Innocence" that found that 11 prisoners on death row in Illinois did not commit the crimes for which they were sentenced to death. It caused a governor to suspend the death penalty in his state until he fulfilled his term.Good poll. I am tied ( and one-half opposite ) with "right-leaning anti-capital punishment." Whoops, just checked again and am in the lead...
When I first learned of the Innocence Project, I became anti-death penalty, but as time wore on, I saw that there are some who should never, never be allowed to see daylight again. This would happen in the event of a natural catastrophe such as a flood or earthquake on prison grounds. The evacuation could result in the escape of a serial killer who would just continue his crime. Maybe the public would be served if this type of criminal was disabled from hurting others for good.
The Innocence Project
The problem with your hypothetical is that it hasn't happened - whereas hundreds of innocent people have been executed unjustly.
The odds of someone escaping a SuperMax facility are lower than the odds of a lethal injection not working.

I am shocked that 6 out of 9 of those were in Texas.
And by "shocked" I mean "not at all shocked".
money should not be a consideration in justiceI have a feeling I'm going to stay a small minority as an anti-capital punishment conservative.
One of the leading reasons I am against capital punishment is because it is not administrated fairly. People who can afford good lawyers have so much better chance at getting out of it than poor people.
Since justice can't be blind, and since it does appear that people have been condemned to death who were innocent, I have slowly abandoned the capital punishment position I was raised to believe in.
For those reasons and NO ONE who calls himself or herself a fiscal conservative could possibly support capital punishment. It costs 8 to 10 times more than life without parole.

"Possibly" is enough for me. But are you really trying to claim that we've never executed an innocent man?
The death penalty is an archaic custom
The US is one of the few nations on earth to still use it.
Muslim extremists, the US, China and India are the remaining few

Perhaps.. but a lot of non-death penalty countries just throw you in shit hole of stench and disease to rot and die.
Hardly humanitarian.
