I don't think it is. Last year a man was put to death. Just found: In February 2006, a de facto moratorium on capital punishment was enforced in California as the state was unable to obtain the services of a licensed medical professional to carry out the execution of Michael Morales. The occurrence came as a result of an injunction made by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals which held that an execution could only be carried out by a medical technician legally authorized to administer IV medications. The lethal injection procedure, if wrongfully performed, could lead to suffering for the condemned, potentially constituting cruel and unusual punishment.

What US Supreme Court cases supported the death penalty?
The Supreme Court has never declared that the death penalty is unconstitutional. In the 1972 case of Furman v. Georgia, the Court ruled that the death penalty was unconstitutional as applied in three specific cases. This effectively put a moratorium on the death penalty as lower courts struggled to determine when (or if) the death penalty could be applied. The Furman opinion was per curium, with each of the nine justices writing their own opinions (5 concurring and 4 dissenting).Four years later, in 1976, the Supreme Court made clear in the case of Gregg v. Georgia that the death penalty wasconstitutional. Georgia had amended their death penalty statute in the interceding four years and now had additional protections for the defendant in capital cases, including a two-phased trial: one for guilt and one for sentencing.The Court in Gregg summarized Furman thusly:"While Furman did not hold that the infliction of the death penalty per se violates the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishments, it did recognize that the penalty of death is different in kind from any other punishment imposed under our system of criminal justice. Because of the uniqueness of the death penalty, Furman held that it could not be imposed under sentencing procedures that created a substantial risk that it would be inflicted in an arbitrary and capricious manner."

What were the temptations for the Christians in the midst of persecution?
Christians are still being persecuted now in modern times in Pakistan, India, and elsewhere. Some may have been tempted to give up their faith, but they knew if they did that, their souls would be lost. So they hold to their Christian faith even if it means their own physical death. They are given the death penalty in Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and North Korea even now.

In this case, no possible substitute can satisfy justice. For there is no parallel between death and even the most miserable life, so that there is no equality of crime and retribution unless the perpetrator is judicially put to death.". "A society that is not willing to demand a life of somebody who has taken somebody else's life is simply immoral."Pope Pius XII; "When it is a question of the execution of a man condemned to death it is then reserved to the public power to deprive the condemned of the benefit of life, in expiation of his fault, when already, by his fault, he has dispossessed himself of the right to live." 9/14/52.John Murray: "Nothing shows the moral bankruptcy of a people or of a generation more than disregard for the sanctity of human life." "... it is this same atrophy of moral fiber that appears in the plea for the abolition of the death penalty." "It is the sanctity of life that validates the death penalty for the crime of murder. It is the sense of this sanctity that constrains the demand for the infliction of this penalty. The deeper our regard for life the firmer will be our hold upon the penal sanction which the violation of that sanctity merit." (Page 122 of Principles of Conduct).Plato: "Longer life is no boon to the sinner himself in such a case, and that his decease will bring a double blessing to his neighbors; it will be a lesson to them to keep themselves from wrong, and will rid society of an evil man. These are the reasons for which a legislator is bound to ordain the chastisement of death for such desperate villainies, and for them alone"William A. Petit, Jr.: "Justice is the first virtue of social institutions," according to philosopher John Rawls. It transcends national borders, races and cultures. The death penalty is the appropriate societal response to the brutal and willful act of capital felony murder. Every murder destroys a portion of society. Those murdered can never grow and contribute to humankind; the realization of their potential will never be achieved. I support the death penalty not as a deterrent or for revenge or closure, but because it is just and because it prevents murderers from ever harming again. By intentionally, unlawfully taking the life of another, a murderer breaks a sacrosanct law of society and forfeits his own right to live. (In a home invasion, Dr. Petit was, severely injured, his wife Jennifer and their 11 year old daughter Michaela were raped and murdered. Both daughters, Michaela and Hayley were burned, alive.)John Locke: "A criminal who, having renounced reason... hath, by the unjust violence and slaughter he hath committed upon one, declared war against all mankind, and therefore may be destroyed as a lion or tyger, one of those wild savage beasts with whom men can have no society nor security." And upon this is grounded the great law of Nature, "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed." Second Treatise of Civil Government.Saint (& Pope) Pius V: "The just use of (executions), far from involving the crime of murder, is an act of paramount obedience to this (Fifth) Commandment which prohibits murder." "The Roman Catechism of the Council of Trent" (1566).Jean-Jacques Rousseau: "In killing the criminal, we destroy not so much a citizen as an enemy. The trial and judgments are proofs that he has broken the Social Contract, and so is no longer a member of the State."

What are the pros and cons of death penalty?
The Cons: The life of a human being is ended. There are lots of other negatives about it depending on the country you are in. In some countries, the cost of appeals can tie up the legal system and the execution can be delayed for decades. In others the family will receive a bill to pay for the bullets used to execute the convicted criminal. The Pros: It is supposed to serve as a deterrent to prevent others from doing the same thing. It also removes the convicted criminal from society so that they cannot commit the crime again, or influence others to do similar crimes. It satisfies the human desire for revenge in an orderly and procedurally correct manner.
