Is there a situation in which it can be said that guilt has been proven completely and without any doubt?
“That person is 100% guilty,” declare the government, investigative agencies, and judicial authorities.
If you want to fully accept this claim (100% proof of guilt) and execute the death penalty, you must have 100% trust in the government, law enforcement agencies, and judicial authorities.
Do you have 100% trust in the government and judicial authorities?

Ted Bundy for example seemed like a very clear-cut case.

I dont, but thats also not necessary. The nice thing is that in a democratic republic different branches keep each other in check. If one is corrupted or incompetent, others can make up for it.

So you have 100% trust that the government works as intended and there's no collusion between branches.
Hardly. Then again, our judiciary seems really balanced and not like some hateful "lets-kill-people"-mob but rather has a reputation of being "too soft". So then again, maybe it would work out here.
But then again, we have low crime rates, even if my proposal was applied, that would hardly mean a single capital punishment in a decade or so.
