probably death if I did commit the crime, but if I didn't then imprisonment in the hope that I would be found innocent later on :)

Yes, the death penalty should be abolished. It is not a deterrent of capitol offenses. There is too great of a risk that an innocent person will be murdered.
Should death sentences be increased?
I'm against the death penalty personally unless the convicted asks for it. There have been lots of innocent people executed and 1 is too many. What is it were you? Imagine how you'd feel to be killed when you know you are innocent?
Should the death penalty be a law in Canada?
There are more cons. It doesn't matter how much money death penalty vs. no death penalty costs, because you can't put a value on innocent human life. Killing the murderer won't bring the victim back, but using the death penalty will occasionally result in an innocent person being executed. Since the death penalty inevitably results in a net loss of innocent life it is unjustified. If it was possible to know 100% then I'd have no problem with the death penalty, but it's not possible. It actually costs more to kill the criminal than to keep the criminal in prison for life. At least in Canada during the late 50s into the 60s most people were against the death penalty, but that has changed a great deal now. Most Canadians are for the death penalty if it is warranted to fit the crime of taking another's life. Also keeping prisoners costs the tax payers a great deal of money, so murders are of no use to society. Canada is fighting for stricter laws all the way around and not just including murder.
Is Batman against the death penalty?
If it is an innocent peron probably, But can't say for sur though. He is a vigilante so you never know.
What percent of people killed by the death penalty are innocent each year?
Less than one percent. Over the past century about 25 people have been executed in the US and then later proven innocent. Now we have DNA testing which takes away almost all doubt of innocence or guilt. And there also must be a unanamous vote for the death penalty. So now there is almost no way to be executed and then proven innocent.
Why death penalty is not good in civilized society?
Actually, opinions on this vary. But the tendency, nowadays, is that a majority of people think that the death penalty is uncivilized. Some arguments against the death penalty is that it is used disproportionately against ethnic minorities (for example, black people in the United States), and that it is irreversible (and there have been many cases where people executed, or people who were planned to be executed, turned out to be innocent). For further arguments, both for and against the death penalty, I suggest you consult the Wikipedia article on "Death penalty".
