[BluffTHIS!]

I am going to give an answer to both questions from my catholic point of view. The Catholic Church teaches that the death penalty is wrong in most cases because the means exist to protect society from such criminals via secure incarceration. Thus my position is that it should only be applied to those who kill multiple times in different incidents, or more than one person in the same criminal act where evidence of same is not circumstantial, demonstrating that they are a danger to other inmates/guards in correctional facilities, and that they pose an extreme danger were they to escape. This standard, killing more than one person in the same act or differenct incidents, should except in the case where someone is somehow "framed", make their execution error free.
