I totally agree for the US. I guess since I don’t live there I trust the UK judicial system to be more sorted, but that is probably naive.

Even though I am against it where I live, there are still those cases where there is undeniable proof and the crimes are heinous enough to invoke the primal side of the brain. The logical side of my brain knows that it is a bad idea to give power to the state to kill people.

I just can’t imagine how the family would feel in these kind of situations, and sometimes I think the justice given to them can be underwhelming. It’s complicated and I find it hard to make a concrete decision to say that the death penalty is absolutely never warranted.
