@Pretzel Society has determined what is worthy of execution and what isn't, and the system in which it's to be put against a person charged with a crime heinous enough to warrant such a punishment. Cold blooded first degree murder should be automatic, without an option to plead out, as well as any sexual violations against younger children.

@NativePortlander1970 but the sad truth is that in the US it is not carried out evenly and not even sentenced uniformly.
that being said there has been one execution that was carried out based on what is now known to be junk science.
and one that may be carried out on the basis of a "scientific fact" that is not so scientific.
but...with sufficient evidence I have no problem with execution. carried out humanely (with as little suffering as possible) or
life imprisonment. and that means until they cart their dead body out of the prison. either way is fine - many on death row die of natural causes.
and either way would prevent a repeat offense.
