For me, it isn't the fear of executing the innocent that makes me opposed to the death penalty, it is the certainty.
I do agree rationally that the death penalty is wrong in itself, but in all honesty that is not really what drives my opposition. There are plenty of murderers whose execution I would not regret, and I would not regard their killing as murder. However, if the State can kill these people, then it WILL kill the innocent.
