The decision as to whether to impose the death penalty in the most heinous cases of horrific violent acts, is clearly the most difficult moral decision human beings are faced with.
For many people the only possible reason to excuse someone from the death penalty when they are convicted of a heinous violent murder is that perhaps, the justice system got the case completely wrong; and in fact the convicted killer is innocent. I think any of us would agree that the crime of killing an innocent person on behalf of a society and a bureaucracy and a legal system that is not perfect and is at times corrupted; any of us would agree that that crime by that giant corrupted bureaucracy is even more heinous than an individual crime. Because when the bureaucracy makes a big mistake it is guaranteed that the same mistake will happen over and over and over again.
That is called hell on earth.
God asks us to create heaven on earth.
