Support it in principle. Oppose it in practice. Too many innocent people executed. And it is not an acceptable price to pay to punish the genuinely guilty. To me it is no different than cops firing their weapons indiscriminately into a crowd to gun down a bad guy. Sure they might hit him but how many innocent bystanders did they take with him? If you can’t accept that scenario, then you can’t accept the death penalty as it exists. But you can still support the concept.
