Stickler for process, however. If the State deems life so valuable that taking one illegally causes the perp to forfeit his life, the state has the obligation to make goddamn sure they are right when they do so.

Using the most contemporary example, I certainly have no objection if the State of California decides to allow Scott Peterson to get a three-drug cocktail - once his lawyers have their chance to appeal any issues they think warrant it.

I'd be a lot more in favor of the death penalty if it could be applied to prosecutors and cops who committ perjury or other misconduct in a capital case. Withhold exculpatory evidence or "testi-lie" on the stand - that's fucking attempted murder.
