Also the cost of the capital punishment system is higher than incarceration. When we factor in the cost of fighting for the death penalty and all the appeals involved it's far more expensive for the tax payer than putting them in a cell and giving them 3 squares a day for the rest of their lives.
Now, is it warranted in some cases? Perhaps. However, when we consider how the system we have has wrongfully executed the wrongfully convicted we have to error on the side of justice. How can a Christian embrace a system that has and will wrongfully execute another human being?
