Well yeah I'm sure it is but revenge isn't really what the justice system is for and personally I don't think a system like the death penalty can ever be fool proof anyway and so i don't think it's fair to risk even 1 innocent person being killed. Also, especially in relation to drug dealing it's way too open to corruption and having the wrong people taking the fall for the big guys imo

..I don’t understand the death penalty at all in the USA...why prisoners are kept so long on death row before it’s carried out...for what purpose..?...I understand appeals etc....but if appeals applied as a possibility, then surely the death sentence should never have applied in the first place, rather than life imprisonment...if there is ‘no element of doubt’ as in witnesses and a confession etc...then why the many years on death row first..?...and if any element of doubt is left open in any way, then the death penalty should never be given...I just don’t understand any reasoning with it in the USA states that enforce it...
