If you think people who oppose the death penalty only do so because "criminals can't possibly be evil enough" then you're a bit naïve
Yeah, I’m not in the slightest bit upset this guy’s getting executed, but I’m still against the death penalty on principle because not every person sentenced to death is clearly guilty like this POS is, some have even been proven to be innocent. It’s also expensive as hell to sentence someone to death because of the extensive appeals process. When making laws, it’s crucial to look at the outliers and unintended consequences of the policy.
There's also a shockingly high failure rate for modes of state execution, and a lot of gross details surrounding it as a method of punishment. Jacob Geller did a great and disturbing video about it:
