The trouble is that capital punishment has been abused (take the case of Craig Bentley in the UK).
Whilst I agree with the concept of absolute justice, an eye for an eye and all that, the problem is who watches the watchers as in our law enforcement officers?
I'm not passing judgement on our police forces, far from it, I've got two cousins and a number of good friends who are cops but not all of them are paragons of virtue and honesty, they too are human.
Somewhere a line has to be drawn in the sand whether we like it or not.
On a personal level I personally feel that capital punishment isn't wrong, that said the consequences of a miscarriage of justice whether through error or a bent copper is far worse than a system that is flawed....
