I don't th9ink you even understand what we are debating.

We are not debating if we should have a criminal justice system that hands out punishment.  No one is against that.  Instead we are just discussing the difference between "death penalty" and "life without parole".  The justification for "life without parole" is that mistakes can be corrected.  With the death penalty they can not.

Why kill innocent people when we don't have to?

Is it your assertion that no one wrongly sentenced to death has been found not to be guilty before the sentence or does it happen very late in the life sentence?

As someone mentioned earlier the chances of finding an error may be increased with the extreme vetting done during capital punishment sentencing. 

And I don't think you realize what you are arguing, we are not debating if innocent people should be killed. No one is for that.
