I'm pretty sure you can't get the death sentence for accidentally murdering someone (ie, a robbery gone bad). From what I understand it has to be 1st degree murder (meaning it was a planned, premeditated crime). So maybe that changes a few opinions.

Perhaps but take a look at some of the people that have been executed in the US (particularly Texas)- seems like they are a little quick to use capital punishment in some cases.
Better yet - check out the documentary "Deadline" which is a very interesting examination of the subject that may change your view.
