The problem with applying the death penalty is human error. In Tennessee we have just sent home a criminal who has spent 22 years on death row. He will be given another trial. Look at all of the death penalty cases that are overturned. Because of judge error, prosecutor error, defense attorney error, police error, et al.
Our justice system is set up to convict the people we want to convict and to release those we want released. Guilt and innocence have little to do with the process.
If we are to use the death penalty it should be enforced within three months of conviction. If it is not carried out within three months, life without parole should be the default.
