Nope. I don't think we should be giving the state the power to execute people. Plus obviously there's always the chance that they're innocent.
I always find it kind of strange where in the US there's a big anti-government mentality but they're happy for the government to execute people.
A slight majority of American support it. I, for one, do not. The margin of error is terrible and the govt is all too willing to cover up its mistakes.
