I do not wish to shock fellow conservatives, but I believe in the application of the death penalty to nasty criminals only in the most heinous, rare instances. Most offenders instead should be imprisoned for life.
The State has no constitutional or natural law grounds for executing offenders. Officials from the government murdering people cannot be good. It is like abortion (keep it legal, safe, tightened up but more rare), for murder is murder. We don't want the State sending old people to their deaths either. These are not State concerns.
