Personally, I think its just people being ignorant about the implications and severity of the death penalty. Besides, being sentenced to a life in a prison cell with no chance of getting out is far, far worse imo than death. All the pain and suffering you'd have in prison before you die in there is surely much more of a punishment than killing someone right off the bat for their crimes.

Thats my take on it anyway.

1.Who was the murderer,rapists and pedophiles to judge on whoes lives they was going to destroy.

2.Not that stupid argument of we are no better than the killer or whatever criminal it is if we kill them crap,we dont hurt innocent people where as they do.

3.Life doesnt mean life in the uk,murderers are lucky if they get sentenced to 10 years,and if by some miracle that they do get sentenced higher than usual,they then have nintendo wiis,playstations and xbox and xbox 360,plus they have more security guards protecting them than the average criminal,so yeah they suffer worse than death.
