I have to say I do, but only in a perfect world where there could be no miscarriages of justice. The problem is, there is only rarely cases when you can be 100% sure of who did it, and in a lot of them the person would plead guilty.
I think their should be capital punishment for a lot of things (Murder, rape, ect.) But it is often hard to apply the law right. For me it raises the follow questions:
Can you kill someone who pleaded guilty?
What if they have a mental illness? (I mean, anyone who could rape an innocent young girl must)
How can you be sure you have arrested/will kill the right person?
Can people be killed for murder if it was a crime of passion? (Eg. walk in on your wife with another man and kill him.)
