Or better yet. I will agree with letting them live. If we don't have to feed or care for them. | Of course I am calculating in legal fees and such. That is the cost! If you were just defending your wallet, you would have to be against capital punishment.
As to your second part... Why must a person, even as you described, die? What is solved? How does killing fix anything? What you are seeking is an extreme form of retribution. That does not lower crime. It does not fix victim's families. Many experts say that executing a criminal is harder on the victims family because it takes 40+ years to really have any kind finality.
Plus I still do not understand this. You think that killing an innocent person is wrong, so wrong that it warrants capital punishment. Yet, you are willing to risk killing an innocent person just to get your precious retribution. If you want less innocent people to be harmed and/or killed, oppose the death penalt. Simple.

Do they drink near beer and go play golf
While they pick which countries to invade
Which Muslim souls still can be saved?
I guess god just calls a spade a spade
