Conservatives say that the death penalty is a punishment that fits the crime; it is neither ‘cruel' nor ‘unusual'. Executing a murderer is the appropriate punishment for taking an innocent life.
Liberals say that we should abolish the death penalty. The death penalty is inhumane and is ‘cruel and unusual' punishment. It does not deter crime. Imprisonment is the appropriate punishment. Every execution risks killing an innocent person.
Personally, I have nothing wrong with capital punishment. If you killed someone, it should be the consequence for you as well. As well as a consequence, it is a detterence for criminals. The days of the Godfather are over, and murderers get caught with the aid of forensics.
