Another way to look at the death penalty......if it were you about to be raped or murdered and you had a gun that you could use to shoot and kill your attacker......would you use deadly force? If you would kill your attacker to protect yourself from being raped or murdered, then don't you agree with the death penalty?
On the other hand, if you were going to be the victim and thought it best that your attacker not be killed......then you made the decision not to use deadly force and allowed yourself to be raped or murdered......then you most definitely oppose the death penalty.

The point in killing the criminal is to prevent them from killing you. Not to give them "justice" for their crimes.
