Check out this site:
U.S. Executions since 1976

Sure is a long list...but look at the crimes each person has committed. We don't need people like this in our society.
Some of these people have committed terrible crimes, but the moral and just question is this: Do two wrongs make a right? In this case, the death penalty is committing a second wrong and it is not righting the situation.
Sure two wrongs don't make a right, but who determines that Capital Punishment is truly a "wrong thing" to do?
