Death penalty from the way I see it is just an easy way out for someone who has committed a grievous crime against the state either by killing someone else or treason. The reason for that is because when he is killed, it would not bring the person he killed back to life neither will he have enough time to blame and judge himself for the wrong doing he committed which is the most important punishment to be given to anybody. So, it should be abolished and replaced with life in prison without an option for parole under any circumstances.
I agree to a certain point. Though some people commit crimes that ate just too inhumane for redemption. These people neither regret not would feel remorse about what they did and would repeat what they've done in a whim. I understand that people need to be sorry for their crimes and death penalty would be a bit too harsh but sometimes we need to make a lesson out of someone to make people respect the law. Though before executing an accused, they have to be convicted first and made sure that they are not innocent without doubt
