I've done so much research into this, and I've came to the conclusion that the death penalty is wrong in so many ways. My main three reasons are innocent people are convicted on occassion, neither individuals nor the government as a whole have the right to take a life in my opinion, and the cost of the death penalty in comparison to that of keeping a person in prison for life exceeds it by an outrageous amount, but I'm in no mood to look up numbers.

"The study counted death penalty case costs through to execution and found that the median death penalty case costs $1.26 million. Non-death penalty cases were counted through to the end of incarceration and were found to have a median cost of $740,000."
That's from here:

I never realized that the death penalty costed more than life in prison. Wow.
