A big argument with the pro death penalty crowd is, "well what about the people who actually are guilty?" And the answer is always, "well what about the people who are actually innocent?"

I would rather spare the lives of a 100 guilty people rather than execute 1 innocent person.

And functionally, the death penalty doesn't really do anything.

There's no evidence to suggest that states that have the death penalty see a decrease in crime, so it isn't a deterrent. The only thing it functionally does is attempt to make people feel better.

A life sentence will functionally accomplish the same thing a death penalty does, it will keep that person away from the public.

With life sentences, an innocent person has the opportunity to be found innocent and released. You can't bring an innocent person back to life if you find out after their execution that they're actually innocent.

Edited detail of Saint Dominic Guzmán Presiding over an Auto-da-fe, 1493-1499. Pedro Berruguete (Spanish, 1450-1504).

Auto-da-fe (English: “act of faith”) was the final stage of Inquisition for prisoners accused of heresy or apostasy in Spain, Portugal, and Mexico, beginning in the 15th century. Ostensibly a final act of penance, but essentially a public execution, the most common conclusion was death by fire, though forms of pre-mortem torture and/or other methods of capital punishment were occasionally used as well.

Joe Arridy, a 21-year-old with an IQ of 46 and a demeanor more childlike than adult, confessed to the 1936 axe murder of 15-year-old Dorothy Drain in Pueblo, Colorado. Spending most of his life at the Colorado State Home and Training School for Mental Defectives, he struggled with basic tasks such as counting to five or distinguishing between red and blue. Authorities apprehended him while he aimlessly wandered around rail yards in Cheyenne, Wyoming, thrusting him into the center of the murder investigation.

Under intense interrogation, Arridy falsely admitted to the crime. Despite the absence of any direct evidence linking him to the murder, he was convicted. Ironically, there was already a prime suspect, Frank Aguilar, whose home harbored the murder weapon. However, upon discovering Arridy's origin in Pueblo, the focus shifted to him.

During the trial, Aguilar falsely claimed that Arridy was the culprit, despite the survivor, Dorothy's sister, identifying Aguilar as the attacker. Both Arridy and Aguilar received death sentences in the gas chamber. Remarkably, Arridy gained a reputation as the happiest man ever on Death Row.

Warden Roy Best presented Arridy with a toy train, which he clutched on the day of his execution on January 6, 1939. Entering the gas chamber, he gleefully played with the train, oblivious to the impending doom. Requesting ice cream for his last meal, he failed to comprehend the gravity of his situation, telling the warden, "No, no, Joe won't die..." He stepped into the gas chamber with the innocence of a little boy, grinning.

In 2011, Arridy received a posthumous pardon, absolving him of all charges. Substantial evidence, including a coerced confession and the likelihood that he wasn't even in Pueblo at the time of the murder, indicated his innocence.
