The death penalty remains the most controversial issue involving punishment in the United States. Present both sides of the issue. Are you for or against the death penalty? Why?

One one side it's like your ridding the earth of foul human beings who've done terrible things like murder. But on the other hand your "solving" the problem by murdering someone. I think there is a better way to handle things then to just kill someone, but it's hard to tell what to do, all killing is wrong in my opinion but these people made their own mistakes and should be punished. Just not the death penalty.
