I think we can't all agree on that. I do think we can all agree that punishing persons who have commited crimes should not be left up to those who are directly and emotionally affected by the crime because they cannot be objective. I am not trying to pardon the accused killer, or lessen his punishment but we can't even begin to discuss that issue when we're divided over the fundamental issue of using the death penalty in the first place.
Here's just one of many important point to consider: If you execute this man after finding that he is guilty of the crimes he is accused of but find out a year later that he never did the crime, where are we at then? Instead of three dead we have four, all innocent.
Again, this is only one point to consider, there are other important reasons why I oppose the death penalty and why we all should.
