I won't argue against the death penalty. I have my reasons to be against it and they're good enough for be but I have come to respect that it's not good enough for some folks. I'm fine with that

I used to be as pro-death penalty as it comes... until I started noticing these people getting released from death row and prison because somebody decided to finally use new technology to do DNA testing. Turns out, they had sentenced an innocent man to death.

IMO there's no amount of "justice" through the death penalty that can be had to make up for the state-sponsored execution of an innocent man. And if you don't believe there's innocent men EVEN NOW sitting on death rows across this country, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'll give you a good deal on.
