Actually, I do believe that a properly utilized death penalty is a good thing, but we have to have a justice/legal system that actually works, first. As the situation stands, the jury pool in nearly every case isn't just contaminated, it is toxic and Superfund ready due to preexisting cultural issues.

What got me was I was asked to describe my educational background. My first major was criminal justice, minoring in history and psych, but I dropped it after I discovered I didn't have the right personality. So I switched to computer engineering. For some reason, they didn't think they wanted me on a trial that was apparently based in part of computer evidence....
