Abolishing the death penalty is akin to your body deciding not to fight off infectious disease. Your body sends out special killer agents when you become infected. If it didn't you would soon die from the infection and many still do die due to attack from unchecked disease.
The death penalty, for all it's faults, removes incompatible elements from society in a very similar manner to the body's own defenses.
Let's hope you or yours never have to face the attack of those for whom the death penalty is meant to remove.
While mercy is noble, failing to keep society healthy through prevention is unwise.
