With grave reservations, I support it. The importance society places on a law, and the infraction thereof, and the value of the protections the law accords, can only be reflected in the sentence meted out. We deem assaults as more egregious violations against society than petty thefts, and in part our sentencing paradigms reinforce this; we punish assaults more stiffly than petty thefts. Some laws are so important, and the infractions thereof so intolerable to society, that the only true way to administer justice in the crime is to execute the offender. That said, we have gone too far in eroding the safeguards in place to make sure we do not execute an innocent person. We need more safeguards, more room to examine evidence on appeal, and better representation for poor offenders. I would sooner see us have the option to execute and not use it than execute an innocent offender.

I'm glad we can finally agree with something.
