Why we should enforce the death penalty

DNA evidence has recently been used to absolve some death row inmates. It is a fact that there have been innocent people waiting to die by the government's hands. How are we to be sure it won't happen again? There probably are innocent people right now on death row.

The only way to be sure not to execute an innocent person is to not execute anyone at all.

Life in prision, w/ no parole may not sound like enough punishment for some people, but at least it can be cancled if the person is found innocent later.
