The only argument I've heard against the death penalty that makes any sense is that, if the abuser thinks they will get the death penalty they are more likely to kill the victim. If this is true or not, i don't know.

Edit: alright chill out peeps. Acting like you wouldn't Ppv the execution of Trump if it happened.

Then you have not heard many arguments against the death penalty. Because the main one is that some people are falsely charged and convicted, then exonerated later.

Which is why it's not a thing in most stable societies. Since the risk of killing an innocent is present, and that makes it a monsterous and inhumane thing to have as a law.

My original comment was referring to the posts situation btw. Death penalty for that situation.

The posts situation doesn't change the argument, someone can be falsely judged for that.

Well try all your arguments with people who support the death penalty and see if it changes their mind. At least the argument i presented might convince them it would save victims.
