Justice needs to be applied fairly. When it's something so final as the death penalty, that is even more important.

You are spot on about this! I'm not so sure that a random jury should ever decide whether someone should live or die, but rather a team of experts on human behavior (and no, I have no idea how to implement that!). Whether or not you get the death penalty in this country has so much to do with the abilitie$$ of your attorney, and less with whether or not you deserve it.
And I say this as someone who
does believe in the death penalty!
