For or against the death penalty?

As a liberal I used to claim being against, but the older I get and the more horrendous crimes I see, such as mothers killing her children etc. The more I have to support it.

I am opposed in all circumstances. Life without parole is sufficient (and permanent) punishment. I don't think a civilized society should kill its citizens for punishment or retribution. Also, as Bijoux points out, the system has proven very unfair and imperfect in practice.
