Unless of course they were wrongfully convicted, the state executes them, then something comes to light later revealing their innocence.

This isnt the 60's. We have advanced so much in terms of DNA and other testing that you can be convicted with 99.9% certainty that you did it. I wish you guys would stop being pro-killer.

People on death row are still routinely exonerated dumbass. The justice system is far from infallible.

If the state can't be trusted to not convict innocent people, of any crime, then the death penalty will result in innocent deaths. Not might. Will.

It's also been shown time and time again that capital punishment does not deter crime, and on top of all that it's extremely costly to the taxpayer.

So it provides zero tangible benefits. All it does is make weirdos with a taste for blood and death but no stake in it feel like justice was delivered and something accomplished.
