The only thing I dont like about the death penalty, is the fact that an innocent may be killed.
If someone was blatantly guilty of doing the crime, then they may deserve the death penalty...
However, I think there should be something within the law system that allows a sufficient amount of time for death penalty appeals of some sort, in order to either reduce the sentence to something lesser, or give enough time to prove the accused innocent...

In regards to Anticrombie0909's opinion on the taxpayer's cost... is lessening costs of maintaining prison inmates (saving tax dollars) worth taking the sacrifice of an innocent person's life, simply because they were put to death prematurely? In my opinion, I'd rather pay a couple more tax dollars if it can save someone's life.
