I'm sorry, but I don't see how a Christian can support the death penalty. Most Christians will say "Eye for an eye, and ear for an ear", but why would you depend on the old testament for punishment when in the old testament they would stone rape victims. Should we do that? No!
I believe in a two wrongs don't make a right. I think a life sentence is just as worse as the death penalty. How would you like to stay the rest of your life in a cell and the only thing you can do is think about what you've done in life.
Jesus said turn the other cheek. So lets not stoop to those murderers, rapist, and child molester's level by saying we believe in a pro-life society, but then become hypocrits and kill kill kill!
How can you support something where I deffinetly think racism has happened and innocent people have died. My dad always says, "If someone murdered me or one of your sisters you will change your mind." But then that would be out of hate and revenge. Then I say right back, "Hey you'll change your mind once someone you love is wrongfully acused of a crime and they get the death penalty" WAhahahahah!
So the death penalty has so many flaws, why would we have it. Why take the chance that maybe it is not our right to decide when someone dies? How is that anyone's right but God's?
