I think the argument falls in line of "drug buyer is sick, but drug seller is not" but I am not interested in making distinctions like that for the death penalty. I'm mostly opposed to it. People like it because humans are naturally vindictive and they think it is what the person deserves. However, it is a very inefficient process that costs a ton of money and time in comparison to life in prison. Also, the justice system gets it wrong sometimes, and finally, I am not a fan of the government being able to adjudicate life or death.
