Does the death penalty deter the evil?
Or will the good do good and the bad navigate towards the illegal?
Should the punishment fit the crime no matter how chilling?
To some, the death penalty is still murder, just legalised killing.
An execution stops a sinner from committing another crime,
But an innocent person can be wrongly convicted and lose precious time.
A victims pain may ease when the punishment is execution,
Although a life long prison sentence seems like stronger retribution.
Are you for or against capital punishment?

Thank you! You raise several good points which I didn’t think about, I think the cons outweigh the cons although I tried to come across as neutral.
