If you want a fair judicial system, you can't also want the death penalty.

If someone is spending life in jail, we always have the opportunity to catch a wrongful imprisonment and there's the chance for appeal.

If they're dead, those chances are gone. The death penalty is cutting short their opportunity for due process.
