Im against it, not for moral reasons but for pragmatic reasons. Mostly because you could potentially be executing an innocent person (look up Crippen case as a good example) and it usually takes so long for these guys to actually be executed that a number of them are commuted to life anyway. Plus probably having to share a cell with someone who has great similarity to a real life Simon Adebisi sounds far less merciful than death to me.

Against - being stuck in a rancid jail with a load of violent lowlifes and risking homosexual rape every night for 50-60 years sounds a lot worse than a quick and easy execution.
And if you're one of the 2-3% who didn't actually commit the crime .....

For it, in cases that MERIT it, with GUILT firmly 100% established by FACTS......not lying eyewitness, and planted evidence.
Only when you KNOW you have the right guy. -------fry them.
and apply it equally, across the board.
White mother rolls her car into a lake with 3 kids strapped into the carseat.....she gets 30 years and is out in 10, for good behavior. .
Black mother does the same exact thing......she gets the Death penalty.
yeah, THAT Bullsh*t has to stop as well.
