We have a judicial system, it is not perfect, nothing is or ever will be. By taking the death penalty of the table you take away a deterrent, a chance for closure for many families, and a just punishment in many cases.

Of course these cases should be closely vetted and all ambiguity removed. However; if someone meets a strict set of guidelines I have no problem. The dude in the OP is just one such case

Customer: "I'll take a #2, no pickles."
Cashier: "#2, no pickles."
Cook: [hears #2, pickles; makes sandwich with pickles; serves sandwich]
Customer: [eats pickle-laden sandwich, dies]
Grieving customer: "You bastard, you killed Kenny. You need to have a better system in place.
Observer whose order didn't get messed up: "Quit complaining, no system is perfect."
