How would you feel if you we lived by Hammurabi’s code and you stole something and lost your hand therefore keeping you from ever doing that again. This is same principle as death penalty but just at a lower level. What if we the states we live in retain the right for the death penalty, where do they go next?

Of course most will choose to be put to death because they don’t want to have to be in prison for the rest of their life.
The reason that influenced me to oppose the death penalty the most was the possibility of innocence with the accus
