I never really stated a veiw. You're assuming that I'm pro capital punishment. In some cases I am, and in some cases I'm not. I was just stating a fact about it, in response to the above comments about when it should be used.

Sorry, I wasn't clear in my post. I realize you are not stating if you are pro capital punishment or not. However my point, and the movie I cited was about how it is applied. Although I admit the documentary I watched was probably slanted it did open my eyes to the application of the death penalty - being much more liberally applied then I thought prior to watching it.
The example of a botched robbery is a perfect example as this is indeed the type of crime that has led to the applicatin of capital punishment in some cases in the States.
