The death penalty isnt about what society thinks about said person. Its about justice. the man on death row commited a crime on a level that warrented his death. to my knowledge the only way to guarentee a death penalty is to commit treason agains the united states, or to murder another person.

If this person that you want to debate doesnt deserve to be killed because it is not good for him, you first need to decide which is worse, making a singular self descion to kill someone like the person in the electric chair. or to have a jury of that person peers make a mutual choice that the act he created warrented his own death.
