There is a certain cruelty inflicted on, say the family of Jamie Bulger, when they hear their sons killer's have been released.
The death penalty would save them from this turture, and this is the only sensible justification i can think of for the death penalty.
If the conviction was truely "Beyond Doubt" then i would support the Death Penalty, but i just don't trust the way in which Human Beings, and therefore Courts, define "Beyond Doubt". The Belief Engine works to fool us all

And once you know about it, and understand it, can you honestly take a persons life, and not feel a killer's guilt.
