If you hadn't guessed by the title, I am thoroughly against the death penalty. It's not justice, it's revenge, and vengance never cured grief that I'm aware of.
This case, in particular is a good example. Even the "eye witness" to the crime in question recants, yet the 17 year old boy wrongly convicted of the crime was put to death.
