What do you all think? Should there be a death penalty?

Why or why not?

I think it's worse to convict an innocent person rather than acquit a guilty one, because in the prior one, the justice system itself is commiting a crime. How the hell would you feel if you were innocent and get convicted of murder? Are you really going to think "oh well, I don't like the fact that some innocent people like me are getting the death penalty, but I know the law is trying it's best so I guess I'll hop off to the gas chamber"?
