Why we should enforce the death penalty

Those in favor of the death penalty here seem to be conveniently ignoring the fact that innocent people get executed when you have a death penalty.

Do more innocent people get killed *with* a death penalty than do people *without* a death penalty? Aren't the victims of recidivist murderers innocent?

If we put to death those who have committed premeditated murder, they will never kill an innocent person again.

Anyone have any statistics on convicted murderers who killed again?
