I think yes, however many retrials must be allowed if the suspect pleads not guilty and it should be voted on by state legislature. Filthy Crimes against humanity such as human trafficking or school shootings needs a death penalty. I also believe since the death penalty is more selective, it should be public and cruel to the criminal, such as the burning bull and impaling.

Agree, under the correct legal process, cause many people are innocently convicted. Although, they should use the organs for donations.

Yes, but problem is our penitentiary system and government are innefective, to many innocent people would die.
