I believe in it for certain cases, but I wouldn't say it is the end all punishment for criminals. For rapists, serial killers, yes...but in NoVa there is a 23 year old who got the death penalty for hiring someone to kill a rival who he owed $$ to. He is a criminal, an asshole drug dealer yes...but he also has many siblings, one as young as 7. How do you tell his youngest sister that her brother has to be killed?
