NAY! There are too many difficulties surrounding being able to have a fair trial for anybody let alone somebody accused of an especially heinous act. Just look at how many people were put to death in Texas under Bush's governing... he would have fought tooth and nail for just about anybody to be denied appeals in cases with even the most disorganized of trials. It is because of things such as this that the death penalty cannot work in the U.S. On top of this, I find it morally wrong to begin with. Who are we to judge that somebody's life should end? We are no more justified in doing so than a person who commited an act of murder ourside capital punishment. There is no fair a mount of guilt we can determine with our human minds whether somebody deserves such a penalty or not. That was not our right to begin with in taking a persons life through regular murder nor is it our right as a society when determining the guilt of somebody to send them to death quote unquote officially. It is a crime against humanity in the same way murder is itself.
