I'm for the death penalty in very narrow situations such as the person is on camera commiting the homicide, and with a higher standard than reasonable doubt.

Ex. Someone robs a bank and shoots a teller in the face with a shotgun. There's cell phone footage, no alibi, CCTV, and several eye witnesses who provide testimony.

In that case I'd be for it.

But even then there would need to be aggravating circumstances.

However, this is so rare, and this isn't the current standard, so as it stands under the system, a moratorium isn't entirely bad.

People are falsely convicted all the time. You need to allow for appeals to at least attempt to weed out the false convictions before you get to the punishment phase, especially when that punishment is irreversible as is the case with execution.

Sorry. Definitely not broth. Chicken/poultry processing facilities pack some fresh processed birds and parts in ice for transport. The ice melts, mixing with liquids from processed chicken and makes chicken juice. They cant have processed poultry soaking it the chicken juice, so all the shipping containers a perforated to drain into the trailers. The refrigerated trailers that transport processed chicken have a few drain holes in the rear that allow the chicken juice to drain and discharge to the road/ground/etc. Its gross, but not the worst of all the gross stuff that happens at poultry processing facilities.

You can actually download the 300-page report commissioned by the Wolf administration studying factors related to the death penalty. A diverse team of experts spent three years on it and found 16 categories of reasons to not execute anyone. Besides innocent people being executed, widespread lying by cops, systemic racism, and flawed technology, execution costs many times more money than life imprisonment. We also know that "general deterrent" is a myth. There is no moral, ethical, civil, or financial reason to execute.

You still failed to explain the lack of due process of how if one was sentenced to death for mass murder as the jury would go over the evidence and come to the conclusion of a guilty verdict and how the perpetrator would be given the death penalty and promptly executed how that would not be due process.
