I didn't really finish part of the thought fully in my first post.
I basically believe that a life sentence is better than a death sentence in all cases (when the choice of sentence is only either life or death). The only time I think a death sentence should ever be actually carried out, is if the person who is sentenced to death is actually asking to be put to death all the way til they are actually put to death. In any other circumstance, other than self defense at the time of the crime, I find the thought of a death sentence allows the chance for one innocent person (or partially innocent), out of however many guilty ones, to be wrongfully put to death. That's the main reason for my displeasure at the whole idea. Life in prison (if it's not torturous) at least allows the chance for someone to maybe someday get out if they weren't supposed to be there in the first place.
