With jail the decision can be reversed if/when found to be wrong.
It's not the bleeding heart liberal in me (can't speak for anybody else) that is the reason I am strongly against the death penalty. It is for a few reasons but including: no opportunity to reverse mistakes, no verdict is "100% nailed on" since there can always be contamination issues or mixed samples, whether accidental or deliberate, with DNA evidence. Also, it's just not the sort of thing a civilised society does.... killing people to make ammends. That is a rocky road down to the Saudi Arabias and Nazi Germanies of this world.
Again, for the avoidance of doubt, that doesn't mean anybody who opposes the death penalty can't be as horrified, repulsed and sicked as our self righteous friends on here by some of the crimes that have happened particularly against children.
Usually results in the classic "do you have kids?...no, well you wouldn't understand" argument.
