    If you think people who oppose the death penalty only do so because “criminals can’t possibly be evil enough” then you’re a bit naïve

      Yeah, I’m not in the slightest bit upset this guy’s getting executed, but I’m still against the death penalty on principle because not every person sentenced to death is clearly guilty like this POS is, some have even been proven to be innocent. It’s also expensive as hell to sentence someone to death because of the extensive appeals process. When making laws, it’s crucial to look at the outliers and unintended consequences of the policy.
