    If you’re a juror and you vote guilty, knowing that the person you’re voting guilty for will be executed, if they are later found not guilty, your head should be next on the chopping block.

    I am fundamentally against the death penalty. It is not a power the government should ever have.

      I’d argue that a prosecutor is more guilty of a bad death sentence than a jury. The jury only hears what’s brought into court. If the prosecution are withholding evidence or didn’t do their due diligence on collecting evidence then it’s not the jurors fault. The jury was lied to, and it’s the prosecution’s job to bring forward all evidence, not just the stuff that supports their case.

      I, also, am against the death penalty. I don’t trust anyone with that job. However, at the same time, I also believe some people should be killed. People who gravely endangered humanity and caused immense suffering to everyone who exists and will exist, for example, pro-capitalist and pro-modern-slavery people such as Elon Musk. Or the guys from the Volkswagen emissions scandal. People like those should not exist.

        Yeah, in practice the death penalty doesn’t work because the justice system is both fallible and corrupt but if we could somehow eliminate those problems some people are certainly deserving of it.

          Whilst some people may deserve it, no one person or entity deserves the power to enforce/enact it.
