I used to be on the fence about it, but after getting into true crime stories, I'm 100% in support of the death penalty. The simple truth is there are some people, not a lot, but some people who absolutely deserve to die.

It's not something that can be summed up in a few small sentences, but that's the basic way I feel.

I absolutely do not trust the government to determine who those people are though.

That's why we don't depend on the government to determine who those people are. We depend on juries, made up of our own citizens, and laws and penalties which are decided upon by voting.

Yes, I know this is an ideal and it may not be exactly that way in practice, but still it stands that it's not the government making those decisions.
