I would be worried if it were not. We do need to think long and hard about murdering a human being. That is what the death penalty is, murder. It should never be taken lightly, and like the subject of abortion, there seems to be no right or wrong, just each person's 'inner voice' telling them what is the right thing for the individual.

There does seem to be that at times the death penalty is the only fit punishment, depending on the particular crime. It has nothing to do with revenge, but with justice. There are cases that demand the 'ultimate price'.

I see a day when all capital murder cases may defere the death penalty if not backed by DNA evidence. But we're not there yet.

A Point missed

In no country nor under any law is the death penalty classed as murder.

Murder is killing someone illegally. After due process if someone is put to death it is an execution, carried out legally.
