Death penalty is an outdated practice. Quite simply, amoral.
What an archaic method of punishment the death penalty is. It's murder, really. I fail to comprehend how the fact that the victim may happen to be a murderer himself somehow justifies killing.
Anyone read Beccaria's essay "On Crimes and Punishments?"
