What's wrong with death penalty?

Just to remind people about what this article is about. The theme is that poor Davis had "7 of 9" witnesses against him recanted their testimony. From the article and many of the comments, you might think that there was nothing else that convicted him of the murder. That premise is of course not true!

I agree! Most convictions that result in the death penalty are based on good, solid evidential foundations. There are some that are admittedly faulty. Now to the argument of having a death penalty at all.
Just the other day I watched a video of a little girl fight her way to freedom after an abduction try in a Walmart.
The abductor was out on parole, denied he had anything to do with the abduction try, even though he was identified from the video. I have no doubt what that little girls fate would have been, if considering this parolee's criminal record is any indication of his potential for MURDERING another human being. My question is, why was this animal out of prison? What did he tell a parole board that would have convinced them to allowing him back into my society, and that little girls neighborhood?
So, it is obvious where I stand on the death penalty. If a criminal like this piece of slim can CON his way back into society, and his record indicated he had not killed yet, but now he stepped up a level in violence, only the punishment of death will satisfy my need for being safe from those who do have a proven history of being killers and should never have an opportunity to be able to CON society back onto the streets of our neighborhoods-with, or without, the help from do-gooder lawyers.

The death penalty is a wonderful thing. I wish they had a day of the year that all the dirt bags on death row were executed.
