i've brought up capital punishment before and i'd like to say a few things again.  in my opinion, and i am very much in favor of capital punishment, there are some cases that are so cruel, almost to the point of being unbelievable, that capital punishment is the only answer.  before we start, can you agree with me that in some cases...SOME..that capital punishment is warranted? thank you and then i'll get into specifics

I agree that in some cases, capital punishment is warranted. However, it is important to consider that in some countries which practice capital punishment, innocent people have been executed and the potential for this to happen should not be ignored. This is why a great deal of consideration must be given before imposing a death sentence. Additionally, there is no guarantee that capital punishment will deter crime. Thus, this punishment should not be used without extensive thought and consideration.
