Your on the right path. The problem isn't that there is a death penalty there is the way its used and how inconsistent its used let alone how many mistakes are made. For sure there are those people we can all admit the world is better off without. As for most we can all debate how they are dealt with, but if we are being honest there are those very few that we collectively all agree they need to go. The debate is where we draw that line. As for the rest of these people the inconsistencies are staggering and that is something I rarely see discussed. Last year Trump during his lame duck period sent 3 men to the execution chamber. For 130 years NO OTHER president did that. Once the election was over they handed those cases onto the next President. Among those 3 was Alfred Bourgeois who committed horrible crimes against his young daughter including killing her. We could endlessly debate the right or wrong of that execution, but what should have been debated was what Trump also did. After sending Alfred Bourgeois to the execution chamber Trump pardoned Nicholas Slatten and 3 others of the Nisour Square Massacre. Slatten had been convicted of 1st Degree Murder by an American court for his actions that got 17 people killed in Nisour Square, one of which was a 9 year old child. How does anyone correlate executing 1 person for killing a child at the same time they pardon another person for killing a child and 16 other innocent people? How can anyone say these laws are fair when they can be acted on so inconsistently?
