The death penalty is "cruel and unusual punishment." The death penalty fails to recognize that guilty people have the potential to change and learn from their lessons. At the same time, it assures the execution of some innocent people. The countries that still have the death penalty are China, Iran, North Korea, Yemen and the US.

In some states, judges are not allowed to impose the death penalty. It is up to a jury to decide whether a criminal should be sentenced to death http://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-procedure/sentencing-law-faq.html

In my opinion, the criminal should be sent to jail because they are going to be there for longer periods of times and they will learn from their mistakes. Also because killing someone is not to a solution to a problem.
