I agree with making sure a person is innocent, but I'm only for the death penalty in cases where it's clear and overwhelming evidence to support the crime. I'm not talking circumstantial evidence like the Casey Anthony trial.

ALL potential death penalty cases require clear and overwhelming evidence. In fact, they require these things at several levels including appeals. That is why they are more expensive. With your argument you just implicitly called for more expensive trials.

Also, it is a $3-4million hit PER CASE. Add 'em up and it gets pretty expensive.

Or we can put folks in maximum security for life. Then they can't hurt anyone any more, you and I as taxpayers save money, and the criminal spends the rest of his life fearing the reality of dropping soap in the shower.
