For Capital Punishment

I strongly believe that the Death Penalty is a form of punishment to be
used when needed. Which opens up the question, when should it be used? That may
be the breaking point in a lot of arguments, deciding when to use the death
penalty is a very touchy subject. I believe that only murderers deserve the
death penalty, but I do not believe that all murderers should receive it as
punishment. In cases where someone was killed in self defense, the 'murderer'
should not receive the death penalty. But when someone is killed in cold blood
then there should be a consideration. Again, not all cold blooded murderers
should receive it. Premeditated and sometimes on the spot murders are also
candidates, but that depends on how the victim was treated before the murder.
Was he/she abused or tormented in a severe way? Or was the victim raped? I would
also take into account, the number of people killed by the murderer. Those are
not the only things to take into account, but I will stop here...
