I favour the death penalty in certain situations in principle. However, I do not like even 1 person executed who is in fact innocent. So maybe I should say that I am opposed to the death penalty as it is enforced today.

I don't think I would change my view on the death penalty based on the number of wrongly executed people. I do already feel, however, that a jury trial or trial by judge is insufficient in determining whether or not someone truly deserves the death penalty.

There needs to be a foolproof (as much as can be) way of determining guilt and i do not feel the current system we have of determining guilt is sufficient.. even in non-death penalty cases.

I do feel that there are crimes that deserve the death penalty. These people should be put to death if we can determine for a certainty that they were the ones who committed those crimes.
