Do you support the death penalty

You really need to learn how to express yourself coherently.

I do support the death penalty in theory, but only if the guilt of the convicted has been established beyond all doubt.

What I meant was that you'd want to make sure you got the right person. If you lock someone up for life, and find out they weren't the ones who committed the crime, you can let them out. If you execute someone, and find out they weren't the ones who committed the crime, you can't do anything about it.

I would see the difference to be what sort of effect additional evidence (or the re-testing of evidence) could have. Using the example of a massacre, it is pretty inconcievable that new evidence is going to come to light that proves that the guy arrested with the guns who was seen shooting people by many witnesses was, in fact, innocent.

Probably the best deterrant is effective birth control. The numbers can be controlled more easily and criminal elements can be properly cared for instead of falling into criminality.

You would also have less people to do the controlling, so you are incorrect.

The Church is more concerned about promiscuity. Maybe it should keep its promises as good shepherds rather than spend all of its time crucifying people and talking about holes.

THEY DON'T CRUCIFY PEOPLE!
