The 'life for a life' form of punishment is as old as civilization itself and still we are no closer to an agreement. There is probably no single right or wrong but instead right or wrong circumstances that apply. In certain cases maybe a life sentence in not just, or does not fit the crime(s). As a personal opinion, I find I'm leaning further away from the death penalty, but I have not lost a loved one by the hand of a killer, so I may not be qualified to answer.
