Before we get the usual "but what if we execute an innocent man" argument. Innocents die in droves every year. While the number of murderers in prisons increases year by year. So pick a better argument against the death penalty....

Sorry EoB but I cannot think of a better reason against the death penalty than all those found innocent of crimes that they would have been executed for under a death penalty.We have had too many reversal of sentences in the last 15 years alone to show this.
Besides which how would you feel if you were unlucky enough to be one of those innocents condemned and executed.That it's all evened out in the end?
