I at the same time think the death penalty both does not have a high enough burden of proof, and is to limited in use.
In order to be on the table I feel there needs to be 100%, undeniable proof of the accused guilt. You're on camera hacking people to death, have Jeffery Dahmer's pantry, have a lot of rock solid witnesses, etc. Beyond a reasonable doubt is, IMO, not a high enough burden. But when guilt is absolutely proven, go ahead and hit them with the death penalty. And not 20 years from now. And roll things like child molestation, aggravated rape, and the like in with it.
