I support teh death penalty only in cases where the convict represents such a danger that even the tiny chance of him getting loose is too big a chance to take and where there is absolute proof of guilt (not an unattainable standard anymore). But if people are going to be executed, it must be in a way that minimises pain. That's what makes us better than them.
