Its not complicated, and yes I believe in capital punishment.

This is circular logic question begging.
A similar argument would go as follows:
He was a Jew in Poland during WW2. Jews were to be put to death in Poland during WW2. He was put to death. Accept the punishment of the state. It's not complicated.
I find it amusing how many of the death penalty advocates fall prey to logical fallacies and present so many flawed, specious arguments.
As usual with these things, correlations abound no doubt.
