My feelings about it have always been complicated. There are a few people who cannot be "fixed" and pose a constant danger to other human beings, and it would be [b]easier[/b] to exterminate them. [b]However[/b], the death penalty has never been meted out fairly or equitably in the U.S. And people of color and those who have no money for a vigorous defense are most likely to be its recipients. So better nobody die than an innocent person. And both groups like the Innocence Project and DNA testing have proven that the state has already killed several who were guilty of no crime.
