It really boils down to those of us who believe even one innocent person executed is one too many...and others who think it's just a 'cost of doing business.'
The fact that life without a chance of parole serves the same purpose and the fact that due to the legal appeals process for capital cases, executing them actually costs more than life without...proves that it is about revenge.

And there are those who long for the good ole' days of the electric chair and gas chamber. I couldn't stomach watching a person die this way, no matter what the offense was. And there are those who long for the day they could witness such an event just to watch what they hate die a writhing painful prolonged death. Afterwards a few drinks with their buddies so they can rehash more hate towards those who are different then their own tribe. Chemical injection was supposed to be a more civilized way to execute. Seems they can't get that right either. More drinks for the boys ! Another round for our tribe ! Drink to what made our country great ! Better him then me MFer !
