2/8/12 Death Penalty

In my opinion the death penalty is not cruel and unusual punishment in some aspects. People who murder, rape or do bad things to children should get the death penalty. Although things such as robbery and other things that doesn't physically hurt someone should not result in the death penalty. Granted some people who should get the death penalty gets off easy and others who are innocent get put to death, so the death penalty is good in some ways but also bad in some ways. The death penalty also cost a lot of money. It costs more to kill someone through the death penalty then to let them rot in prison. The death penalty is a bad thing when they put an innocent person to death, then later find out they were really innocent. Everyone has their own opinion on the death penalty, but I'm not for it, or against it.
