Very true. Executing someone who deserves it is one thing, but a mistake is unacceptable.

I believe in Capital punishment in brutal murders and some people are just to dangerous to live. Of course, the judicial system is messed up, those that can afford a good lawyer ususlly beat the wrap poor people have less chance even if innocent. God help you if your case gets politicized then your screwed though you may be innocent.

As for a humane way, try the lethel injection, if it fails due to bad vein, then put them under using gas as for surgery, then retry but injest in the jugler vein.

An altermative is have them around naggy ladies all day, then offer them a cynide pill...just kidding.

You cannot accept one kind of mistake, but are willing to risk others lives with a mistake.

Exactly......

Because the former mistake takes a life, not risking what may or may not happen.

The only way I would support the death penalty, is if I had complete faith/trust in the justice system.

And yet so many who will argue no capital punishment because along with the multitude of guilty there may be a few innocents while at the same time arguing for the murder of the unborn, every single one, 100% of whom are innocent. And with current forensics there's no reason to ever execute an innocent person in the future but every unborn will be innocent forever.

Agree, the guillotine probably is the best method. Ironically, the method viewed as most humane (lethal injection) might have too many flaws. Curious why we don't use the guillotine. If we are going to have the death penalty, the only objective should be to put the person to death as quick as possible.

American sensibilities are such that we condone capital punishment, but want an antiseptic death for appearances sake. We will not use the guillotine for obvious reasons: severed head. Too gruesome. We turn over the deceased body intact to the family as a salve to our moral vicissitudes.
