Well fellas...I dunno if the death penalty is morally right or not, but here is what I do know:
1. Millions upon millions of people have died in wars over the past century
2. Millions upon millions of people are currently starving to death in the world
3. The cost to keep a prisoner in jail for life is horrendous.
4. It really is very rare now for an innocent person to be put to death. It's not nearly as prevolent as the dramas on TV would make you believe.
So, I think it is a mistake to spend time, money, and effort worrying about what happens to these guys who, lets face it, are not anywhere close to winning the "Model Citizen of the Year" award. When we have all the other problems of the world figured out perhaps we should step back and examine this issue, but at the moment lets makes sure the decent people of the planet are taken care of first.
